One Shoulder Floral Dress for night of Poetry and Singing
I had the pleasure of hearing a great friend of mine perform at her summer concert series a few months back called Tribute to Love: Summer Edition. Her voice is amazing and so is her spoken word talent. Please look for Ronaya K. Speaks on Facebook. I had also made her jumpsuit and cover skirt you see her wearing here.
The dress I’m wearing is McCalls 6886.
Alterations include:
-One arm dress by cutting diagonally from CF to under Right arm.
-Widen sleeves by 3 “ near the wrist to create a fuller sleeve.
-Flare 17” at CF and CB (each side)
-Lengthen to stopping point.
I did something new by adding horsehair to bottom of dress to stabilize the flare and keep its definition. This was my favorite dress I made over the summer. The fabric was light and comfortable and the print included all my favorite colors; orange, red, and fuchsia.
