I am inspired by the dress on the back cover of Threads magaine number 168 - a 1930s gown made from a fun, flirty rayon georgette floral print. Its most stunning (and inspiring) design detail is its self-fabric boa like feathers adorned to its plunging v-neck back and armholes.
The Muna and Broad Newry Dress Review features a relaxed-fit dress with gathered details, elastic sleeves, and playful closure options. Easy to sew and size-inclusive.
