It is amazing how life has the ability to completely and totally suck you out of what you thought you were living, smack you upside the head and point you back in the correct direction. The good news is I have been working on a dress design. There are a couple of pictures of it over there. The design is based over a vintage 1953 design. Only I like my way better. When you alter, or gase or make major modifications like I am, you have to remake the dress and it's pieces time and time again. Something might not work right so you have to change that, the dress was originally designed for the spectacular bullet bras of the time requiring a complete restructuring of how it fits a female bust. The general idea of the dress is the only thing that has remained the same, but that is about it, the front is being majorly altered, I am going to add several large gores to the front and pleat it about 24 inches across so there is a volume of material there, it gives the idea of sleekness but not, and add more hint of innocence, that at least is my next idea. The front skirting of the dress is from a failed attempted at another idea that has led its merry way to the one I have currently.
Updates as the next attempt is made ;)
