    The fabric and execution are wonderful. I would not have wanted to see lace or anything else compete with this amazing fabric for attention. I think it needs to be better pressed to get the best angles for the top part and the incredible inverted pleat. Gorgeous!

      i agree with you. i pressed the dress alone many times. i even dragged the mannequin along on the pressing station but the annoying creases are still there. ___

    a very nice model and a beautiful fabrik!!! blind stitched hems would be nicer, but of cause that costs a lot of time. you did a good job!

      i thought blind hem stitches are easy? never used blind hem technique actually but i’ve read some blog posts on it. or do you mean sewing it by hand when you say it takes a lot of time?

      you can make blind hems by machine or by hand. by hand it takes quite a lot of time :-)
