Chiffon dress

I started with the idea of a black party dress, that's short from the front and long from the back. Chiffon is an easy material to work with, and it added a kind of flowy feeling to it. Underneath is a short black tricot dress. The top part is a kind of a corset model, several parts together. I like it because it's so fitted and interesting. The simple tricot skirt was easy to make. For the chiffon part, I put the dress on a mannequin, wrapped the chiffon around the waist and cut the hem short from the front. Then I used a sewing machine and added the chiffon hem to the dress using an elastic string.

 
I'm really happy with it, it is just as I thought it would be, and fits me really well. The chiffon hem was complicated and I could have done the attachment to the dress better.
