Couture Gown
I finished my couture gown and wore it to a party Saturday night. What fun! The gown was a project from Susan Khalje’s couture school last year, which is basically a boot camp for gown-making.
At the end of the week my gown wasn’t finished. While I finished my regular school work it hung in my closet. I’d sigh when I saw its copper shimmer drape down to a puddle at the floor, telling myself someday, someday. What I needed was impetus to get it done.
Then an invitation to a black-tie event arrived and work on the gown resumed. Picking it up again, I could see how my sewing techniques were more ingrained. I’m still thrilled with the color choice and am glad I went with the Grecian (one-shoulder) neckline.
Here’s another view of the dress, worn with my grandmother’s gold wrap.

That dress is stunning. Everything about it is great. The color, the fabric, the drape. Great job.
Yes, agree that this is a work of dress art! Go Molly! You did it! I want to hear about any naughtiness at this party. It seemed too decadent not to have anything on the dark and sassy side. Password protect if you must, but spill!
Good Golly Miss Molly you look SENSATIONAL pretty lady!
