Square V Neck Dress

This purple dress had, yet again, different intentions. Originally, I had wanted to create a dress with off-the-shoulder sleeves and a slit in the back. However, once I got halfway through the construction, I realized that the slit looked a lot nicer, and more sophisticated, in the front than in the back. The square, thick way in which it is sewn is very flattering, and I liked the idea of having the fabric join together in the front, instead of the traditional seam in the back.

This dress will be a part of our summer collection. It can be purchased here.

After looking at Rossella Tarabini's sketches, I used her style to draw my vision. According to fashionmodeldirectory.com, Tarabini's work shows "grat attention to sartorial details and fluidity of lines" while "express[ing] great sensual femininity withholding any exhibitionism."Her drawings are beautiful. They are so simple, yet they hold within them a personality and coloring of their own. A gorgeous photograph of hers can be seen here.
