Another Dress Done

Hi guys! I have gotten another dress done and I could not be more excited! This is one of the new sketches I had talked about last week. When my collection was really coming together I just didn't think one of the original dresses would work anymore so I changed it up. I wanted something that was a little fuller on the bottom but kept the interest and some of the details that ties it into the rest of the collection. 

I choose to make this dress with a gathered skirt bottom with a quilted waistband and zipper down the back. The bodice of this dress is fitted through the front with an open back and a snap closure at the top. I wanted to bring the quilted element into the sleeves of this look as well so I quilted the top portion of them in a contrast color. This look is all neutral colors of brown, black and white which I plan to pop with a teal accessory, possibly a necklace or a purse. Here are some pictures of the finished look! My model does not have as broad of shoulders as my dress form so once I get the final pictures done in Cincinnati it wont look so tight across the top.

With this look completed I have 6 done and more than three-quarters of the accessories complete as well. I am going to work on the final dress of the collection next and then begin on the pant looks. As promised I am also slowly working on the final sketches too so there is a lot going on as always haha! Wish me luck!
