Couture: 60s Polka Dot

21Jul11

An indulgent moment with another 60s-inspired dress. I made the pattern and sewed it by hand.

I like simply elegant dresses: Slight boat neck; two sets of darts in front and back; a strong macha green polka dot silk print.

Originally I planned to add draping over the dress in homage to 60s (and so I could learn the art of draping).

Having finished the draping, however, I decided to leave the dress “bare”.

To give the 60s a contemporary touch, I am wearing a varnished belt.

    can you make me one please?!

    • Chloe, glad you like the dress!!
      Shall I have a couture line on the side, to share my indulgent treats?
      Maybe I could sew one or two dresses to keep my sewing going :-)
