Ultimate Sewing Challenge

Ultimate Sewing Challenge Party Ensemble

Brittany was invited to a Holiday Party in the Hamptons and wanted to look her best. She chose a red low back dress made with washed silk Dupioni and lined with a silky red polyester. Brittany loved how the chains on the dress accentuated her back. She decided to wear her faux fur wrap just in case the weather turned cool. The soft red lining of the wrap felt good on her bare shoulders. Brittany recieved lots of compliments on her glitter clutch. She smiled as she remembered how she spray painted her eyeglass case gold and sprinkled glitter on it. Brittany had a wonderful time at the party but was so tired she fell asleep in her dress!

Dress made from altered Vintage Simplicity pattern 7469. Fur shawl and clutch my own design.

    VERY ELEGANT. Reminds me of evenings out dancing. Do you design all your garments? Love the styling.

    Sophronia. I:M so sorry. I didn't realize who designed the dress. Lapse of attention, too busy admiring the details.

    No problem 4mythreads. Thanks for the compliments. I did alter the pattern that originally had about a 9 inch ruffle around the bottom and I replaced the cloth tie in back with chains. I also changed the front to add the center panel. The original pattern has a kind of country picnic vibe going on but I had to change it up cuz I LOVE fancy dresses! Can't help myself :-0
