Happy Valentine's Day from Bernina V6 Contest

Mimi

Mimi fanned out

I recently made this very fun and romantic dress for another challenge. See the link below. I did not use a pattern for this, I made it myself. I used pink and red poly chiffon/georgette and black dupioni silk for the waist. I made a circle skirt and I applied zig-zagged edged scallop design I drew out from the bottom of a plate then cut them out very carefully. I added a red ruffle to the very bottom. I added an invisible zipper. In the side view photo I wasn’t sure how to incorporate the zipper and the scallops so I let them drape down as they wanted. The top part of the dress is a deep-V in the front and back. the bottom part is light pink with red zig-zagged scallops around the top and red on top. The red I left unattched so I could wear it different ways. There was some hand stitching, but mostly machine. The bottom part of the dress it lined in nonstatic poly red fabric. I love this dress and I unfortunately was not able to wear it on Valentine’s day, but I’ll wear very soon when I go on vacation.  I really wanted to make another dress for this, but I am in the process of moving. Thank you and hope you enjoy my design.

    I saw this dress on the Burda site, and LOVED it! I voted for you there, so hope you win. Thanks for posting the "making " details; it is just a flirty, fun but sophisticated dress.

    Great job! Hope you enjoy wearing it as much as you evidently enjoyed designing and executing this garment. Super job!
