Hi Darlings!
I am going to start by saying THANK YOU! The voting for the InStyle Social Media Awards ended on Sunday and I won. You guys are always so supportive of me and I appreciate you all. Yesterday was my first DIY tutorial posting on the Michael Levine blog and it was a huge success. I have already started planning the next project.
Today's look is the wrap dress I finished last week. The hubby has been pretty busy so I hadn't been able to take pics in it until today. I used my favorite wrap dress pattern by Kwik Sew #3489 and just squared off the front wrap, I am not a fan of the rounded front. The fabric is from Michael Levine and it is gorgeous. I have also used this pattern to make THIS dress which I posted and reviewed in January.

DeleteGreat job as always. And it gives me ideas on what to do with some leftover faux leather I have! ;-)
ReplyDeleteThat dress is Fierce... its my favorite style. .. must make one with faux leather sleeves.
ReplyDeleteLove this dress. The wrap dress always a classic, but the sleeves most definitely makes it trendy.
ReplyDeleteThanks Lashell
Deletenice!! Very nice accent to the dress.
ReplyDeleteHoly hotness, you just took the wrap dress to a whole new level. That dress is pure awesomeness, and you make the dress look even hotter, fabulous!
ReplyDeleteMimi...classic style...do you use a lining with your wrap dresses?
ReplyDeleteI didn't for this one because the fabric is a good weight.
DeleteLove that you added leather. I bet this would be nice in a full-length version. I'm going to try it but first can you tell me how you determined the square off measurements?
ReplyDeleteI didn't use any, I just made it a straight line down and across ;-)
Deleteyou know wha???
ReplyDeletegeez louise....that is toooooo sharp
OMG!!! I usually take inspiration from you styles but try not to copy your exact garments...BUT BAY-BAY (in my New Orleans bred accent) This dress is Da' BOMB!!!

ReplyDeleteUsually I do not like wrap dress. But this dress is sharp and edgy. It's just prefect. Thanks for changing it up.
ReplyDeleteI am truly excited to see a wrap dress that is sharp and edgy all at once. I have never liked a wrap dress the way you have changed it up made me want one.
ReplyDeleteWow this is lovely!!!
