This beautiful dress was inspired by the fashion trends of the 1960s but the origins go back to the early 1940s in a dress called the popover. It's popularity at the time led to it becoming a staple of the American Look.
I use lining fabrics and sewing techniques that make the dress fully reversible.

It is worn fitted over head with the front of the dress having two ties in the back and the back of the dress wrapping around the front.

How it’s Made
Each dress is individually cut with both exterior and lining cut together from high quality cotton fabrics for guaranteed dimensions.
Both layers are marked together, so that the curves on the neck-line and sleeves align for a better fit and the ribbons and ties sewn into the garment are strong.
I do not use rotary cutters, by looking at what the scissors are cutting, I get a better indication that I am cutting with or across the weave as I need to.
Each dress is hand made by machine and incorporates elements of hand sewing the old fashioned way to make sure the job is done right.
The sewing machines I use are purpose-built for clothing construction. Modern machines built for clothing and quilting have a sewing plate opening large enough to allow additional play in the fabric during the stitching process, resulting is additional variations in the sewing process. My machines do not allow this movement and what you get is a more consistent stitch quality.
I use 100% Cotton threads (long filament Pima Cotton sourced from Europe) for superior strength in stitching.
