50's Cocktail Dress!
When I first saw this dress in the BurdaStyle magazine for February,
I knew I wanted to make one!
The upper part is the most interesting with the dress
and it reminds me of one I made when I attend the origami course.
The darts are not stitched together, but folded in place,
and I also fold the other pleats on to of the other.
I cut the lining for the upper part,
and fold- and stitched the darts.
The shoulder seams are stitched together and I stitched around the neck,
and then close to the seam.
Then I do the same with the arm holes before stitched the side seams together.
The pleats for the skirt is layed in the right direction and stitched to the waist.
Then I sew the side pockets in side-seams.
I made the belt for the dress as well.
I had to shorten the skirt by 10 cm since I had only 2 meter of the linen fabric.
I have used an invisible zipper at the back.

Thanks for showing the tucks on the front, I was having a hard time trying to figure it all out. You look lovely in your red dress. Where are you? So picturesque! Becky B.
