Description

Halterneck dress with eight panelled skirt, attatched under bustline. I made a bubble with the crepe and overlayed it with Chiffon that I hemmed with black ribbon and pinned up in tucks. I’m still trying to decide whether I use lttle diamantes to sew onto each tuck. (It’s just pinned up at the moment). The dummy is actually bigger than my frame so it’s gapping on the model where it doesn’t on me. It’s an inivisble zip at the back through all layers, which isn’t actually zipped up in the pic. This is for a formal occasion I’m attending. Look forward to your comments.

Material Notes

Crepe lined satin, chiffon, ribbon, invisible zip…maybe diamantes

    Nice silhouette and the best colour for a cocktail dress.
