THE Shabby Apple is having a design contest and I just had to accept the challenge and add a few ideas my own. I love so many of their beautiful dresses!
My first design stemmed from the idea of a perfectly figure-flattering dress in a delicious shade of Kelly green. While the style whispers of a 50's silhouette with its full skirt, very generous pleating and boat neckline, the bell sleeves and shoulder trimming give it that 21st century edge. I see it with an 'under- cami' to accommodate the wide sleeves and a lined skirt. I could imagine myself living in this dress!
The second screams Marilyn Monroe Wiggle dress but in a gorgeous pattern. Embroidered/French Toile/Amy Butler-esque print...fantastic! A cap sleeve and round neckline with a tie front. Contrasting 'belt' and a slimming pencil type skirt. I love the idea of using brown and blue. This could be stunning!
