Long Sleeved Dresses (again) Caution, pics.

Hi! I just wanted to share another long sleeved dress I made recently. The topic of pretty sleeves mentioned before got my wheels turning. So I've started playing around with sleeves and this is one of the results!
I decided to slit the sleeves and expose some arm flesh!!


Let me know what you think!

Oh and BTW it is draped over a belt to give it those layers!

 

that is a beautiful dress....what kind of fabric is it made out of?

 

Thanks! Its made of Embroidered Linen, its very flowy but hard to iron for some reason!

 

i think it's beautiful...wrinkles and all....

i don't own an iron.....so i think wrinkles are beautiful......hehe.....

 

Its beautiful

 

Thanks! heres a smaller pic of the back;

 

Pharoah, that is an awesomely beautiful dress! Did you design the whole thing?

 

Thank you.

What I like to do is use bits and peices from different patterns, so I get sleeves from one place and bodice from another and so on. The cut for the skirt portion is a simple circle skirt pattern added onto a dress. It makes for one hellav a spin and a pretty drape. Also I work with the fabric, sometimes my ideas dont work out so I have to adjust. Its more like this is what the fabric wanted to be, not what I wanted the fabric to be.

 

Well, going with the flow of the fabric is definitely the mark of an artist. Do you sell your dresses? They are so romantic and beautiful I would think you could have your own line somewhere. (i've since seen another one you made) Good luck with your creations!. They are very inspiring. love, nightwind

 

that's such a romantic dress~it reminds me of greek goddesses...
