cocktail dress

suesewing | Posted in Photo Gallery on

I’ve attached a picuture of my daughter in a cocktail dress that I made for the openning number of a pageant. Dress was made without a pattern. It is boned to stay up and has a crinoline attached to the skirt for fullness. The white and black material is a taffeta with black flocking

    Beautiful design!  No pattern, well how did you draft the design, what process did you go through?  It would be fascinating to me to hear how you did it.  You are a true creative genius.

      Thank you. With a name like Marie Curie are you sure you don't want to go into biomedical research!?

    Wow! I'm in awe that you created this without a pattern. This is a gorgeous dress, and your daughter models it beautifully!

    I see dresses like that I figure I should go and sell my machine. I am humbled before your greatness! What a terrific job you did and your daughter is gorgeous also!

    We all want to know - did she win?? In a dress like that, we hope so!

      Unfortunately, she only got evening gown this year and she aged out of the pageant system.
      She is pleased that in the past she has been a semi-finalist in the Miss USA pagenat and a local winner for the Miss America. Right now she is in optometry school about to go out on her externships. I have been asked to design and make a dress as part of the prize package for a local Miss America pageant which excites me.
      Thanks for all your support

        Aged out? There must be a way around it, cause they must go on forever. Perhaps your daughter will marry one day and join the Mrs. pageant group. Your talent became part of the prize package? Congratulations! That is an honor to be excited about, especially if money is no object! I thought I'd like to do pageant dresses, and at one point I wanted my daughter to be involved, but she wanted no part of it, so life went in another direction.Well, keep us posted. K?
