Burda Style For people who sew
Description
I was invited to a Titanic theme party and decided to sew my costume myself.
I found a lot of pictures in the internet and finally decided to try to replicate a dress, that Kate Winslet (Rose) wore in the movie. With the difference that I chose a dark blue fabric instead of a red one.
I inteded to sew on a lot more embellishments but unfortunately I ran out of time. However, I am pretty happy with the result and the party was amazing!
Material Notes
Satin, net lace, sequin trim, several embellishments

I’ve always loved this dress, and your rendition is quite lovely! The train and the fringe at the hem are just perfect. Do you think you’ll add more embellishments?
