bianco









The third and final dress I drafted & sewed for my 'honeymoon trousseau'.  I used a thick white cotton that had a tiny bit of stretch and little airy pinholes.  I purposely didn't line the skirt because I wanted to keep it light - it was sweltering! This meant that the skirt was also slightly see-through but hey, worn with the right undergarments why not?  And, if Dolce and Gabbana can do it then...when in Italy...

    1. Thank you Beth for the nice compliment! If you do give patternmaking a try, this one is very close to a basic block, the only major change is to the neckline. Thanks again!
