Burda Style For people who sew
Description
This is a dress which I made for the school dance last winter. It was my first evening dress which I designed from head to toe; the model and patterns are all made from scratch. The dress was inspired by film noir and the fall ’10’s #1 material, black lace.
Material Notes
Silk dupioni (pink wefts, turquoise warp), black lace, glass and plastic pearls
(invisible zipper, silk lining, plastic bones, buckram, tulle)
Difficulty
Advanced

You’re right, I think it’d work as white as well!

OMG beautiful! I love the effect with the black lace overlaping with the pink silk fabric and the folds in front. Love it! Great job! :)
