#ball gown
Pattern: Butterick 5987 view B
Fabric: Italian digital printed silk charmeuse Interlining: silk organza. Lined with fashion fabric.
Modification: skirt is cut out of just 2 pieces (front and back) instead of 5 according to the pattern. Just because the fabric is wide enough. Have to take out quite a bit on the bodice side seam to get the neckline to hang right.
Notes:
This looks like a really easy pattern but getting the perfect fit is not so trivial. I attempted this same pattern very early in my sewing days and it was disastrous. Granted I used silk satin face chiffon that was fairly difficult to handle for a novice. This time around I am more equipped.(tons of silk pins and shiny new needles)
Possible improvements: none that I can think of. It’s a classic style that just can’t go wrong.
Stunning gown

“Lose the skirt,” she said, ahead of the upcoming VH1 Music Awards 2015 = the latest political hot potato Madonna’s press director was forced to contend with after her decision to cave into the stubborn pop diva’s request for ‘higher’ heels played part in her recent epic tumble at the Brit Awards.
