I have just finished a Craftsy online course; The Couture Dress by Susan Khalje. This is the dress I made. It’s a really great course and I will use the couture techniques in any future projects I undertake.
The dress is from the Vogue pattern that came with the course.
The dress is a silk/cotton mix with silk underlining and silk charmeuse lining.

I bought this course, dying to learn the techniques, but the pattern didn’t excite me-kinda blah. But this version is so VA VA VOOM! It looks amazing!! Guess it goes to show, the choice in fabric can make all the difference.
