Reversible Evening Dress

This was based on a Dior dress from the 50s. I made it reversible because I couldn't decide which colour I wanted it to be in. The sash is also reversible.

I wore it to a carnival themed event. For fun I arrived in the black dress & silver sash before turning it all inside out halfway through the evening to reveal a red dress with a black sash.It was hilarious to watch people's reactions.

Pattern or design used: Vogue Patterns V2720
