Burda Style For people who sew
Description
I absolutely love to drape fabric on the form, and that`s how this dress was created. There are three layers of fabric (fashion fabric, muslin – which I used to anchor the folds I created on, and the lining) and it`s also fully lined. My plan for this fabric was to make a suit, but then I changed my mind and made this dress.

this is just beautiful and would love to such a dress one day. When I see such designs I remember why I love to work with fabric, the ability to creat identity and personality

Thanks Elayne. I drafted the muslin base only. The folds you see on thye dress were draped and handstiched right on the dressform.

Gorgeous. I love how flawless this looks and the contrast of the draped shadow lines against the lines on the fabric.

Nice! Draping is so much fun! I wouldn`t call it easy, but draped designs always intrigue me. I hope your nieces like my project and feel inspired by it! Thanks for the nice comment!

The funny thing is that the fabric is not really grey. It has tiny light blue stripes, white stripes and this metallic silver thread running in between the stripes.

Amazing dress… I think you should made one in black for Angelina Jolie but anyways every woman who wear this dress look like a star for sure. It’s simply perfect!
