Going along with my obsession with bows, I just finished making a dress to wear to my friend’s wedding this weekend. It is made out of an Ikat, Silk Dupioni fabric. Since the last dress I made was very free and flowing I thought it would be nice to change it up and focus on structure. Because Silk Dupioni is so flimsy I ended up facing the entire dress to achieve the structure that I wanted and to reduce wrinkling while wearing it. Also, I bought these new Betsey Johnson Shoes to mimic the bow in the back of the dress. I will be accessorising with vintage jewels and clutch. Very excited to wear the whole ensemble!!
Ooooh, I love that dress you made! It looks like something you would find at a thrift store, without the smell.
I love your blog! xo Abbey
