Description
Another dress I made with silk. This is a slightly amended version of the Celeste pattern. Originally I sewed the dress with the black top and a black skirt with white spots attached to it…which looked horribly dull. That’s when I decided to bring some colour in – I am really happy with the result!! Very cheerful.
Material Notes
yellow silk, black satin, black ribbons

Wow, I didn’t even notice the diamond cut of the waist/skirt section before – the yellow totally highlights it! Love it!

I couldn’t agree more – I love yellow! Your variation of the Celeste is fantastic! Actually, the best variation I have seen on the site.
BTW, do you always dress up when changing light bulbs? :)
