Comfy Cotton Dress




We have a crush on low back dresses. It seems like every time we design & make a dress we leave the back real low or have a cut out on the back. This dress was fun to make but took  a lot of brain power trying to figure out how to piece it all together. Using my dress-form we actually created a pattern for the dress out of paper we cut up and pinned to the dress-form. The gray fabric is from JoAnns and is a really soft cotton. Its thick enough to hold some shape though. This dress would look great in lots of different colors but the gray allows for fun accent colors in accessories!

Cruise Dress






I love cruises! Best vacation you could ever take. So of course I love making dresses to wear during my cruise. This particular dress was made for my cruise last summer, on the Oasis of the Seas. I used a silky cotton fabric that I bought at JoAnn Fabrics. It is super light weight and flows nicely. Best part about this dress, it only took me about an hour to make! Two pieces for the front meet the middle band of fabric that tie in the back and then the skirt piece is attached below that. I used a couple hook and eyes to connect the halter portion around my neck.
