I have to say, I love the D onna Karan spring/summer collection. So, I've been seeing this dress in all my magazines and had to make one similar since I KNEW I had a pattern with those pockets :)
Well, this is a melding of two patterns, this vogue pattern and the vintage pattern I used for this dress. Next time, I'm going to use a different bodice (the vogue pattern). It just didn't work out. I love the style, but the way the back was made was just....not working. I had to rig up this complicated thing to attach it to a strapless bra so the back doesn't just drape. It doesn't stay up on its own. Now, this could be a pattern problem or....again....my freakishly small back !?
Annoying all the same. Well. I finally put the hem up today since I am done with school. It needs a few more buttons :P I'll get around to that. I love it :) It looks better on my mannequin than on me, but I'll blame that on the fact that I didn't do my hair or anything. I had myself a little photoshoot all the same. Hat and belt and all. Be warned.
