Open Back Flower Dress

Open Back Flower Dress
For this dress, my inspiration was a bit Audrey Hepburn, a bit Miu Miu 2008, a bit Luella (with her heart shaped cut-outs), and a bit of happen-stance with finding a beautiful printed organza.

I use flat patterning to create a contour fit bodice and circle skirt.
