Hi Sew Retro Community!
I am back from vacation and have started on a new project which will hopefully produce a beautiful dress and teach me draping and a few couture techniques along the way.
I hope to take this fabric:
And turn it into this dress:

Without it looking like a terrible 1980s prom dress:

You can follow the trials and tribulations at Modern Twist.
Cheers!

I have to admit that might be a difficult project because to those of us who grew up back then the combination of hot pink and black is the 80's. Be very careful. I wish you luck.
Its going to look fabulous! Its not really draping … this Armani is using the dress lining like origami – fantastic – its all in the pressing! Getting those crisp edges – The fabric you have chosen looks great – Can't wait to see the finished article ….as for couture technique….just do your own thing – its not for the faint hearted – Take risks!!! I tell you its amazing what you can come up with ….Happy Creating!!
