Cocktail Dress

fully lined dress with corset like bodice, wide, rounded shoulder straps and reversed tulip shaped skirt

 

 -the 'reverse' tulip skirt has 4 big pleats on the front that create the tulip shape

-the bodice has an unusual cut, that just calls for piping along the seams or lace inserts

-the wide shoulder straps are rounded to cover the shoulder-arm connection for a nice, aesthetic look

The Little BOXY Jacket, same jacket as above shown in a berry color, slightly asymetrical. If you use a big button to close it, it looks in the worn-open version like a brooch. The side gores, along the side seam and on the

VERSION 2 : grey wollen suiting, black lace insert in bodice front panel and a smaller, but longer skirt ( without pleats but with two darts) ..pics to follow


Sheath Dress

fully lined dress with a classic armscye princess seam silhouette but an unusual dart detail in the front panel

This dress looks like a perfect little business  dress. Classy with a twist.

The darts were moved to the middle and create an unsual arriv/chevron pattern.

 Again The Little BOXY Jacket was used.
I run out of time to make one in greyish tweed. But the berry color adds some color on a dull day.

VERSION 2 : blue dress with a v-neck and short sleeves.. pics to follow
