This is a knee length version (for S. Joann) of the ankle length versions also up for voting. This dress has the benefit of a formal yet dressy full length blazer style coat, over a cute/hot mini dress. Sexy whilst smart and with coverage. The dress buttons up at the front (matching buttons on the cuffs), as seen on the outer layer (on the bust there should be discreet hooks), that way the dress can be either stepped into or put on over the head. In terms of fabric - the sweetheart bust is a faux bust, it's not a full top underneath. It's just two front pieces sewn to the inner side of the 'outer coat' to make it look like an inner layer. This way it's all really one layer and doesn't get hot. The skirt is sewn under the the seam for the peplum section, that way there won't be more than one visible seam. The lower section of the coat dress is draped. I would like shoulder pads if CS has them, I think they would add to the formal basis of this design and keep the arms straight as well a |
