Photo: I. Amor
This a sleeveless empire waist dress in linen. The front bodice is asymmetrical and I used Ecru raw linen and Deep purple linen. I designed and hand painted the front neck and the back neck with a Art Nouveau inspired design. The straight skirt falls to the mid calf and it is cut on the bias. It has a side invisible zipper and the neck and armholes are bias bounded.
Pattern or design used: My Own Design - Amor
