Here is my "Panama Dress" from fabric I bought in... yes Panama! Its actually a skirt and top
but it does look like a dress. No pattern, all draped. The skirt is made up of 4 separate long triangle panels that are that are rounded at the bottom. There's ALOT of movement in the skirt.
The top is a fitted band around the waist and the top bust part is only attached in the back and at the sides so the bust part makes a pretty drape and I could get the waist part super tight and fitted.
I hand knit the belt out of some beautiful copper yarn I got up in Philly and attached it to the skirt.
The purse is some fabric I got at the sewing expo last year and is covered in tiny black poodles.
It draws up at the top and through a little black crocheted doily I made that I covered in crystals. The pattern for the purse is called Circle Purse and I can't remember the designer!!!
Someone asked me where I bought this dress when I wore it out last Tues. and yes I beamed when I said "I designed and made it"!!!
Isn't it the best when that happens!!!
Here's a pic of the Brides Maid dress I made last month from a vogue pattern that I can't remember... imagine that!
Its turned out well and I'm so glad she sent me a pic.
The BIG project is still in the works.... but getting closer and closer!!!!!
