this is a dress i sorta based on a sweater i own. i love the way it turned out, though i’ll probably shorten the body a bit next time. it reminds me of some of those graphic 60s designs, maybe by pierre cardin or something. it was quite easy to make and i just love it, even though i’ll actually sell it – it’s part of several pieces i made for a store in woodstock, ny that sells local and handmade clothing.
