Strapless Brocade Cocktail Dress

Description

This is a low-backed strapless dress with pleating at the top of the skirt for volume and nice, deep, practical pockets on the front sides so that you don't have to cary around a clutch or purse if you don't want to :)

This dress zips up the left side with an invisible zipper and hook & eye closure. As with most of my designs, this was draped directly onto the dress form with no pattern.

Materials

brocade, invisible zipper, hook & eye, gutermann all purpose polyester thread.

    I've been crocheting lately...

    The styling of this dress is amazing, especially the dropped back lines and pleats - not to mention, the color is magnificent - very lovely on you!

    What a great dress - I love the colour, pattern and pockets! I'm so impressed that you created it by draping on a stand... it's definitely something I aspire to.

    wow.... this is amazing! did you use boning in the strapless top part of the dress or is it just very tightly fit? (Excuse my grammar!)
