new '40's dress


This dress has a higher "V" neck and shirred shoulders with 3/4 sleeves.
The dress form is very flat so it doesn't show how flattering it is for women who have a good size bust line.
I'm doing this dress for a custom order, but really like the style.
I just want to add something to soften the V like some stitch detail or even a small soft ruffle on each side...
Still playing.
This little dot rayon is a little plain, and it reminds me of Anna Magnani.
The form could really use some hips too :)

  1. I love it. You are so great at what you do. I still love the dress my boyfriend at the time (now fiance) bought for me years ago at your shop on Columbus. Best red dress ever (even after stepping in you pup's accident on the store room floor :) How can we purchase your creations again? You rock Martha...

  2. Thank you PJ! At the moment I am selling a few things on Etsy, and getting my back straightened out so that I can sew more painlessly :)
    That incident with the lovely Lilly... ah yes. She is romping in the clouds now.
    Thank so much for your comment, and I will be blogging as I come up with my next incarnation!
