Fabric: Simply Style by V and Co. for Moda
The first new design I would like to share with you today is the Marilyn Dress. This is a sexy summer dress that is meant for you to let your inner starlet shine! The design features a close fit with a high waistband for the most flattering look to your silhouette. The V-neckline is featured at both the front and back necklines. There is subtle gathering at the lower bustline as it attaches to the waistband. This design as is can accommodate bustlines from size A-C cup. A large bust adjustment can be made to the bodice pieces for the fuller figured gals as well.
Fabric: Michael Miller Neon Dot and Solid
This dress has a super full skirt which is great fun to wear! I felt like a starlet wearing it for the photo shoot!! You will notice in the photos that I played around with the fabrics to provide you with fun variations for this dress. Such variations include a bias trim to accent the waistband and hemband, a contrasting fabric at the waist, and contrasting trims at the hemband.
Fabric: Riley Blake Ombre Dot and Solid
This dress has a center back invisible zipper closure. Don't be afraid of installing an invisible zipper. They really are much easier than you think. I have a tutorial here on the blog (see the right sidebar for more info) to teach you how to install this type of zipper. You can even do it with a regular zipper foot!
Fabric: Westminster Martha Negley Floral trimmed with Riley Blake dot
Fabric: Windham Hello, Gorgeous!

I hope you find it inspiring!
