So this is the other personal project I've had on my hit list. This one is a BurdaStyle
pattern for a high-waist deep V-neck dress I found on their website. It's not as much of a challenge as the Bombshell dress but I might be able to finish it by New Year's Eve, and then show it off. I do love the bodice and neckline on this one.
Here's another version of it by a BurdaStyle member:
I would make it with plain black wool crepe fabric on the bodice and waist, with this black/silver ruffle knit I wrote about
here on the skirt.

So Door #2 certainly is tempting. But then there's Door #1, The Bombshell (in case you missed it): |

I found some great fabric options for this dress today at
EmmaOneSock and
Gorgeous Fabrics:
 |
| Royal Purple/Peacock Brocade from Gorgeous Fabrics |
|
 |
| French purple/turqouise jacquard from EmmaOneSock |
|
 |
| French 3-D Graphic Jacquard Larkspur from EmmaOneSock |
So do you see my dilemma? How do I decide? I need some help, Readers! Which dress/fabric do you like best??? If this were you, which dress would you wear? Comments, please!
I can't help you decide. I'd like to see how either one turns out. I have that copy of Burda, so I'm especially interested in that dress, but that's just me being selfish.
ReplyDeleteI'll probably go with the Burda - I have the fabric already and I think it's a little more realistic in terms of the time that I have. I'll let you know!
