Lady in Red

Asymmetrical Hemmed Dress with Diamond Cutout & Attached Scarf

Step 1 Inspiration

Step 1: Find your inspiration! I always find it helpful to envision the finished product before any cutting or sewing is done. Even if the final product ends up looking nothing like your vision, it is helpful to have a preliminary idea of where you are heading.

My inspiration for this updated version of Vogue's 1948 design comes from a blend of Victoria Beckham piece from her Fall 2009 RTW collection as well as Roland Mouret's Copperfield gown.

Personally, I think your dress turned out better than your inspiration. Very elegant.
