With a pleated lace-up bodice and luxurious pink tulle fabric, this dress is perfect for a sweet 16 celebration
Ah, whatever its an entirely stash-made project, and when I find decently-priced velvet ribbon I will trim to noodles out of this doublet, but for now, heres whats going on The pattern is a mash-up of several Janet Arnold Patterns of Fashion: The Cut and Construction of Clothes for Men and Women, C.1560-1620 examples, and the womens doublet bodice from The Tudor Tailor: Reconstructing Sixteenth-Century Dress
The front/back asymmetrical cut plus the length makes this dress feel very elegant, but if you're short like me you'll definitely have to wear heels or wedges with it (or take it to the tailor).
Featuring bell sleeves and blue crystal embellishments, each dress was hand-beaded in Hong Kong
We love the mix of ditsy florals and solids this bridal party choose
