About My Dress

Pattern Used:
My own design

Fabrics Used:
Crushed Organza, Tulle, Matte Silk Satin, Shiny Viscose Twill.

Time To Create:
Approximately 15 hours (including pattern and toile)

Dress Influenced By:
19th Century bustle dresses, Christian Dior's New Look and Tessuti's beautiful fabric!

Additional Information:
Like most Melbournian's I have a predisposition to black clothing. So I couldn't pass up this opportunity to show my take on the little black dress.

I love the flirty skirt but think the buttons and straps detract from the elegance of the rest. They look like they belong on a different dress.
