"Dress design for Shabby Apple Dresses"








This dress is a design that I am submitting for a contest! Thanks to my lovely friend Nicki, I heard about "Dress Design for Shabby Apple Dresses"
(www.shabbyapple.com) and the contest that they are conducting. So to all my friends and family that have been wondering this is the latest addition to my sewn collection. Photos by Cindy Singleton at www.daydreamsart.com (best photographer in the world)

I used a smooth knit fabric for the dress and added detail with the blue and silver woven fabric. I think it is a design that can be versatile in colors. As a knit dress it is very easy to wear, but a woven fabric would work very well for this design. I am very intrigued by traditional oriental styles and fabrics. I was trying to create a dress that reminds people of that style but can still be worn easily.




Here is a picture dedicated to the woman who taught me to sew- Thanks MOM!

I want to put more of my sewing projects on here but that might be a while. Till then enjoy these shots! <3 megan
