This is the most engineered dress I have made. It is a multi-layered construction of many layers with steel bones and about five fabrics.

The party frock

This is the frock I made for my 40th birthday in Paris. Part of it was started in Melbourne, and some of it was sewn in a cottage in Croatia, and the hem was sewn as I travelled in a train from Munich to Paris.

It’s a poly crepe satin under a poly chiffon. I went for something practical that wouldn’t mind getting stuffed in a bag.
