February '07 Inspirations

 

What a spectacular
dress this is!

Again the pattern is "Sophia"
from Bonnie Blue, this time
in the puffed sleeve version.

The fabric is a striped
Swiss dotted Swiss from
Bear Threads.  The stripes
run horizontally.  We cut the
dress on the crosswise grain
of the fabric and were able
to get both skirt pieces (for
a size 4 dress) from one
length of fabric.

 
   

 

 

Here's a close view of the yoke detail.  Satin ribbon is
woven through buttonholes, and the fabric between
is embroidered with elegant bullion roses.

Wow!!
