Shabby Apple, which has the cutest dresses, is having a design contest. I thought it would be fun to enter, since I have been getting back into sewing clothes.
Design #1:
This dress would be considered formal/evening wear. It has a sheer, multi-layered, chiffon overlayed skirt and collar piece.
Inspiration: I actually had a dream about a tiered dress...I know- crazy! I woke up thinking about it a few mornings ago, and finally put it down on paper (with a few minor changes...)
This dress is casual daywear. It has a pintucked bib and pocket trim, with a pleated cap sleeve.
Inspiration: I have had pintucks on my mind lately, and bought a special foot for my sewing machine. I think that they add such great detail to a dress!
Dress Design #3:
This is casual daywear also. It has tiny cap sleeves, with an exposed zipper and tiered ruffles.
Inspiration: I bought a two-tiered ruffle skirt at a thrift store the other day, and was trying to think of a way to revamp it to make it more modern. I thought of cutting down the front and adding a zipper. When dreaming up a dress design, the skirt idea came to mind...just took it a bit further!
