Next project – a wool dress !
Remember to share your thoughts below. Always exciting to start out on a new project! This time I think I’ll make a wool version of the 2-2019 silk dress just made ready two days ago. Of course with some new feauters! Otherwise it wouldn’t be all that fun. I like to evolve my designs –…
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…

A belted back
Remember to share your thoughts below. With the belt, all the fabric in the back seems more controlled. And the full lower part together with the more wasp-like waist really reminds me of a 1950’s look here. It’s interesting how small adjustments can give a compleatly new look with just the same garment. Right? Back…
A self-fabric belt
Remember to share your thoughts below. A belt! Made it of the same fabric as the dress itself, cut on bias for elasticity. Gives a more hourglass-like figure. Adjustable of course – just tie it as you like it. Back to the Work Room. Let’s see the back!
A draped back
Remember to share your thoughts below. So here’s the back of the No. 2-2019 Summer Silk Dress! A lot of ease and movement and almost no restrictions. My choise of stripe-matching can also clearly be seen. Do you like it? Let me know. Back to the Work Room. I think I’ll try to make a…
The secret
Remember to share your thoughts below. Here’s the secret closure! The self-fabric strip holds the dress securely together, but at the same time allows movement and adjustability. I like that. Functionality. Back to the Work Room. I think I will add a belt to the dress tomorrow… Just to get some additional looks… See you…
