My own Prada dance dress

Description
Ok, it’s not Prada. But the material is (from my material-heaven where they sell designer remnants).
I based it on my cowl-neckline-top but changed the sleeve-openings to cap-sleeves. I added instructions on how to make that change to my Cap Sleeve Cowl Test-run and linked it here.
I called it my dance dress because the first time I wore it was to my friend’s birthday-party with african dancing-dance-teachers (we danced all night, it was great!) and the second time was to a Röyksopp concert (where they were accompanied by Robyn. hm, they are scandinavian musicians so you mightn’t know them but it’s great dance/club-music) followed by clubbing at my friend’s club. So it’s well danced after only two nights out.
However, I don’t recommend making dancing-dresses in 100% wool. Steaming. I guess I’m going to have to make another one in cotton…
The mean smile must stem from the fact that the devil wears Prada, oh my…

Very nice version as well!!! Didn’t think wool could drape that well, but that only shows you how much I know, right? :-)

Thank you! The shop is on Södermalm in Stockholm, and no, unfortunately they don’t have an online store. If you ever visit Stockholm I’ll tell you where it is though!

Thank you! Aha, wow, cool, it’s hard to tell wether artists that are world famous here are outside Sweden, you know…
Btw, I went to High School in Mornington for a year (ages ago) so I listened to loads of ozzie-music for a while (I saw INXS live in Melbourne, dear memory!)

This looks very good on you, and the fabric looks amazing… I guess it feels great to wear Prada-by-you ;-)
