Description
This is a low-backed strapless dress with pleating at the top of the skirt for volume and nice, deep, practical pockets on the front sides so that you don’t have to cary around a clutch or purse if you don’t want to :)
This dress zips up the left side with an invisible zipper and hook & eye closure. As with most of my designs, this was draped directly onto the dress form with no pattern.
Material Notes
brocade, invisible zipper, hook & eye, gutermann all purpose polyester thread.

wow…. this is amazing! did you use boning in the strapless top part of the dress or is it just very tightly fit? (Excuse my grammar!)

What a great dress – I love the colour, pattern and pockets! I’m so impressed that you created it by draping on a stand… it’s definitely something I aspire to.
