You have done a great job. The dress looks lovely. I think the style would also look good in a white or bright red fabric.

this is awesome, nice work i re-made this dress too, for my highschool prom. i placed my zipper on the side though. i could never figure out what givenchy used for the shoulder part to clip together so seamless…

The first thought was Salvador Dali would have ordered one of these for his love! This dress is so lyrical. So so so SO BEAUTIFUL! I love how your shoulders are cradled by the form. This dress is so simple, complex, youthful, modern! Great job Myk!
