WoW. I think I love it, I’d love to see it modeled. The design is fantastic.

Wow! It’s great. I really like the 19th century style back.

Totally dramatic and stunning detailing. You have vision and you are a designer. I do have one suggestion. Use a contrast fabric for your mannequin so we can see more of front detailing. Keep on sewing and creating.

So retro! I just love the 1950s styling – very vampish (in the best possible way).

Thanks! I did design and draft it myself. I won’t lie, the collar was pretty tricky to manage, lol

Thanks! I did actually design and draft it myself – the collar was, in fact, pretty tricky I won’t lie, lol.
