Description

Few nights ago I struggled with insomnia, and this is the result of the struggle. The insomnia won, but I got a lovely dress!
I used a blouse pattern from BOWF 10/2004, #116 for the top, while the skirt part and the obi belt are self drafted. I also made the knotted buttons following some nice instructions from youtube.

    I wish everyone has such results after insomnias ;)))

    Great work and the dress looks so differently with and without a belt! And your style is obvious. I think if i saw your work random on other girl I would define this is Ana’s work. This is priceless for a fashion-designer! Pozdravi!

    I guess with such a beautiful dress as a result insomnia is bearable. Love it!

    From time to time I suffer from insomnia, too, but never got such results… There must be something wrong with me! Compliments again…

    OMG, Your dress is stunning, an absolute masterpiece. Haven’t I said this already ? one dress is nicer then the other. The dress is so beautiful female ….has a perfect sillouette. and the color makes you look so delicate, so elegant. I fell in love with this dress.
