Description
I love, love, love this pattern. It’s the Fitted Sheath Dress 06/2012 #129 and it is sooooo flexible, in terms of silhouette. I shortened it significantly to make it celebration-ready, and added a little side panel in contrast-brocade to add a little hip/butt/thigh wiggle room – we were going dancing.
(please excuse my face – this were taken after pregaming)
Material Notes
I used some non-silk brocade from my local fabric store – soooooooooo pretty!
