The caped back
Remember to share your thoughts below. Almost a bit Supergirl-ish… A caped back! Or, let’s say, a somewhat rococo-inspired drape maybe? Anyhow, with just adding another “cut-through” at the side, you’ll get some great new possibilities added to the look of the dress. I think it’s rather elegant! And a bit dramatic. And very, very…
No. 3-2019 Dress finished !
Remember to share your thoughts below. Yes! I like it! Fun! 🌸🌷🦋 Back to the Work Room. Let’s look at the back! Next image please! 😁
Green and brown embellishment
Remember to share your thoughts below. So the dress is now put together. With a bias cut puff sleeve, and an integrated wrap effect to be. But what embellishment to use? I thought I wanted to give this dress some extra… well, extra! Found these ribbons in my archive – a brown narrow velvet band,…
The pussy-bow
Remember to share your thoughts below. Here’s the hand-stitched “pussy-bow” collar up close. It’s actually an enlonged collar stand that is kept rather soft at the front. I really do like the fullness it gives at the neck, especially with the flowery print on the silk fabric. Kind of dramatic. 😁✨ You can also see…

Stitching a blouse
Remember to share your thoughts below. This blouse is compleatly hand-stitched and draped in one piece. It’s also sleeveless. And it features a “pussy bow” – an enlonged collar that can be arranged in a large bow at the front. Back to the Work Room. Let’s finish up this blouse today! Right?
A summer combination !
Remember to share your thoughts below. Combined the No. 2-2019 Dress with a unfinished blouse I’m working on, just to see how it looks – and I like it! What do you think? It’s really a splash of color right there! Since the No. 1-2019 slot became available here earlier on, I decided to use…
Pattern-making update
Remember to share your thoughts below. Re-made the drape from earlier on with a little bit of pattern-making, to remove some of the width at the hem. I made a yoke and some shirring up against it with a cut from above down to the bust point. I also “renamed” this new design No. 2-2019…
2019’s first drape!
Remember to share your thoughts below. Finally ready with 2019’s first drape! It’s made in muslin – a light plain cotton fabric – since I hadn’t fully decided on shape and fabric yet. Gives me freedom to play around and experiment a bit more. Great if you’re starting from scratch! I went for a wider…
