An inspirational dress! I found this vintage dress while browsing the web for 60s fashions. I wanted to try something similar, and this is what I came up with. I decided to use tulle for the wrap instead of lined fabric, thinking the lined wrap would be too heavy in miniature. Then I added beading to the shoulder strap and figure I might as well add beading to the belt as well. I quite like the result and I am curious to see how it looks in other dramatic color combinations.
My name is Hilda and I create couture in 1/6 scale. I live in a big old house in rural Massachusetts with my partner Phil, our two cats Rufus and Toby and our dog Buffy. My sewing room is a closet full of windows and I am obsessed with fabric! And yes, I look just like this in real life!
How do you ever make things this small? Amazing! So creative!
