Silk dress



This gorgeous fabric was a one off roll in my favourite store, it was a dream to work with, quite silky, with a lovely weight. I have worn it dancing and it moves beautifully.

The top has princess seams, I was very careful to match the fabric correctly, I am really pleased with the results. The skirt was a very flattering A line, and I struggled to get the line and fitting round the waist, fortunately dolly came in very useful. (Dolly being my dummy!) The original pattern was sleeveless, however I am always lifting my arms when I dance, and a little shy about showing my underarms, so I added sleeves.
