This fabric pattern's name is "Puff" designed by Liberty. This pattern is modeled after the shape and form of a cloud. But I think it looks like chrysanthemums.
I changed the conventional collar to the round one, and I also rounded the form of the cuffs. I think the rounded form matches the pattern of the fabric more than the normal design.
It can be worn without folded cuffs made by the rounded form. I like the style with split sleeves. I love the idea, because it's still too cold to wear clothes with short sleeves. I used a soft interface on the cuffs of the previous dress. This time, I used a harder and thicker interface. I think it's better than the previous work. I made the bow belt with the leftover fabric. I combined two fabrics, so it was to make! I used printed fabric for the bodice, the sleeves and skirts, and plain black fabric for another parts. Because of this, I didn't have to care about match the patterns, making the dress took only 10 hours (compared to 12 hours for previous dress)
In Tokyo, the cherry blossoms are in full bloom. The season is bringing a lot of parks. I wish everyone enjoys the spring.
Fabric: Liberty 45" 2 3/8 and plain black 45" 7/8
Total time spend: 10 hours
This is SO smart,Eli! As usual your attention to detail is perfect. I haven't seen this print before. I agree that it looks like chrysanthemums.
