About My Dress

Pattern Used:
My own design

Fabrics Used:
Silk Organza, 100% Rayon, 65% Cotton/35%Polymide lace and Cotton/Rayon.

Time To Create:
10 hours

Dress Influenced By:
Spontaneity.

Additional Information:
Unlike most fashion designers, I build my designs on a mannequin after only a few scribbles on paper, which usually means by the time I've reached a finished product, it's evolved starkly from the original thought.

I like to create. I'm not so good at planning. My indecisiveness of what and how to create means I'm hardly ever faithful to one design. I can't predict the bulk of most of my dresses... this little black dress included.

It seems slightly suspicious that all of the ratings of all the other LBD's in the competition have dropped so much in one day whilst yours has gone up! What ever happened to voting based on merit?

@anon: Thanks for bringing that to my attention. I had no idea. I just told my friends to vote (as suggested by Tessuti) and only just checked back since midday. I didn't mean any sabotage and I've informed my friends that such conduct is unappreciated.

@anon (cont): I expected my ratings to up in a day, yes (since I had little, prior); but did not foresee others' going down. Apologies if that was on any part due to the friends I invited to vote.

@anon (cont): I agree in voting on merit and have given many hearts to fellow competitors whose dresses I admire. Honest. [I had to break the comment into parts because there was a 255character limit on comments]

Cute backless, upside down rose, little black dress that can be dressed up or down and kudos for the designer with enough courage to model it!

The bottom of this dress is interesting. However the top section isn't working. I guess it's the square almost butch neck line.
