Hi!

Knock Off

So remember I said I wanted to knock off this dress.. well I wasn't so interested in the fabric so much as the actual dress so here is my first attempt:



Here is the draping I did for the bodice, this is a little tricky to do simply because there are no darts at the under bust to help get rid of the excess fabric so you have to be creative. After about 35 min I had a pretty good draft.

Here is the back, The dress has an invisible side zipper that will be attached. I tthink in a leter post I will try to show how I draped it.

I didnt have on make up so I cant show you my face...lol

Here is the first wearable muslin (click to enlarge)

On petunia :)

I Went Fabric Shopping

Here are a few pics of my newly acquired fabrics, some of them are actually test fabrics for my collection (not the actual fabric that will be used) but same hand, weight, etc. so I can see how my initial test samples will look. All the fabric isnt shown because my table couldnt hold all of it...lol but there are a few more silk voile fabrics and a few more prints.

Imma Knock it off

:) I love this dress so much I am going to knock it off cuz I am not paying almost $500.00 for it..lol now I need to go find fabric! If it goes well I will consider making a tutorial video.

Here is the dress:
