I love the pleats at the waist!
I'm going to taper the sleeves a bit towards the end, as the fullness proved to be a bit annoying, and am planning on adding fur to them as well. The slight train is hard to manoeuver in some dances, but I love it too much, so I'm keeping it.
This was my inspiration board for the overdress (from back when I hadn't settled on the exact date, so there are a few late examples in the mix):

ReplyDeleteOooh, thanks! That's what I'm trying to achieve, so I'm excited to hear it's working :-)
