Description
This was my final project for Draping Class this past semester at FIT. A sheath dress with a princess line silhouette. This is the first garment that I’ve ever created a pattern for through draping on a dress form. It wasn’t made to fit me, but I managed to squeeze into it. I can’t lift my arms though.
Material Notes
2 1/2 yards of cotton fabric, zipper, hook & eye, purchased belt

I love just about everything about this dress – the shape, the colour combination and the darker line in the front, the workmanship involved (if I am not mistaken draping instead of drafting can be more difficult, and I assume it goes double that if not triple for a tighter dress like this). I actually was about to comment on how great a fit it is on you when I read your description!!! :-) You should definitely make one for yourself.
