aren't you the resourceful one? Like your concept & ability to play with what you had. I love seeing creative folks using old or existing things in a new manner. I'll bet it is cool in the summer heat & she loves it.

Love, love love the neckline. Very graceful and becoming. well done.

A job well done on fitting, very becoming. I really like the piping detail, dress would not have as much interest with out that. Good work & design choices.

I really like the plaid linen of the jacket, very subtle. The vogue pattern neckline/collar is way cool.

Very striking design & details. Classy.

So, as I understand it - we are selecting a designer's piece that inspires us & we make our own original piece from this inspiration or..... do we have to use a commercial pattern as inspiration & create our original design? Perhaps either option is available?

WEll done on fitting, looks great on the model. the godet detail helps as i didn't notice them in the full figure shot.

Your detail work is amazing. Your patience & skill are to complemented. An heirloom they will treasure.
