I went to the fabric store in search of fabric for my black sequin dress
//just posted// and hence, a different sequin fabric caught my eye! I’m
like a barracuda…I like shiny things. I draped and hand sewed this
dress on my mannequin as sewing machines don’t take to sequins very
well. I especially love the unexpected peak-a-boo in the back!
I’ve had this sequin fabric for a couple of years and finally used it.
I’ve never sewn evening wear before so this was a fun new challenge.
The bodice is stretch jersey, patent leather and mesh. We shot in the
Yellow Room at the Guthrie in Minneapolis. If you’ve never been, it’s
worth checking out!
