About My Dress

Pattern Used:
A commercial pattern

Fabrics Used:
Silk Twill and black beads

Time To Create:
2 weeks - on/off

Dress Influenced By:
I like classic and simple designs and silhouettes, and to use beautiful patterned fabric that is bold and striking.

Additional Information:
I chose the silk twill, which I had not used before, and actually found it great to work with. This print is beautiful, sharp and modern, very appropriate for this next season. I did have some dramas, (note picture with pins - the mess!) where the material was, I call it "frilling frou frou", and left and right were not matching at all! DRAMA! So, I had to redo, by darting, and then found, I still had to redo the other side. This was the most difficult part. I used the beads, to make a line to define the back, and give it some texture and sparkle.

Special thank you to Sarah Polios, for the excellent photos! Xxxx
