Dress Design for Shabby Apple Design dresses [2-"Flight"]


The second in my submissions to the Shabby Apple Dare to Design competition. My unique and updated version on the shirt dress. Feminine box pleats along the bottom are integrated into a scene of birds on telephone poles, with a single bird in flight.

  7. I love those ideas! Fantastic. I adore the skirt you made--it is fun to see it in dress form. If you don't win, something is wrong with the judging.

  9. I keep coming back to this. I LOVE the idea of embroidering it (I'm a sucker for embroidery). Really, I think this is a fabulous idea. It's so whimsical and chic, I think that's a hard combination to master. Kudos.

  16. Just happened up on your blog. Sweet dress! I was perusing Shabby Apple the other day and couldn't decide which would look best on my figure. This would look terrific on a thin, tall woman like you. Generally, because I'm thicker in the middle and bustier, I stay away from the shirt dress. But I think your collar is brilliant and would be wearable for even me (taking the eye up with a lower neckline).

    Great pleats, too.
