SewStylish Fall Fashion Challenge 2014

Silver Sheath

Silver sheath

This is for a wedding that I will be attending in the Northeast in September.  I chose to use the wrong side of a navy denim as the cross threads gave it a wonderful dressy silver appearance.  I added a touch of black and gray animal fabric at the sides, then again on the  neck facing which I reversed to jazz it up.  For the understitching at the armhole facings, I stitched only through the facing layer and not the seam allowance on the dress.  This gave it a beautiful rolled look.  The invisible zipper at the back seam is lovely and gives the dress a very high-end look.  All of the seams are contrast serged. It makes the inside fun.  The edge of the neckline facing is a serged rolled hem.  I used this to avoid adding bulk and maintain a smooth outer curve.I can’t wait to wear this very fitted dress to my nephew’s wedding.  I will be the sexy auntie!
