Burda Style For people who sew
Description
My 14 year old client, had her first dance party………..she is such a beautifull girl!!! very petite, and her developing figure it is just amazing!!! I have to laugh, because…..she is so pretty and her figure so perfect…..and to me….just a child!!! Her personality is very outgoing, fun, extrovert, and loves to dance….so….with her beautifull cinnamon color skin….I suggested an orangy-red……also the circular ruffles on the skirt for movement as she dance…..and also a one shoulder type of strap with lots of them oppening at the back like a fan…..finished with a small bow made with all the cords used for the straps……I gather she had lots of fun!!! and for that….I was happy and as allways, thankfull to God that is the only One that guides my hands. Please come and join me in my blog for couture finishings: Rainforestcouture

Beautiful. Love the color, and the fit is perfect as usual. I like what you did with the straps, very couture. Everything is perfect for a young lady. I bet she felt fabulous in this dress. Bravo!

Thank you so much patti!!! the one thing that worried me when i was asked to design a dress for this age group, was, that it should be appropiate for the age……and Thank God, He guided me!!!
