Off the Shoulder Side Split Maxi


My client had a Gala to attend and brought me a dress she had ordered that was too short and wouldn’t allow for her to wear heels.  There was not enough hem for me to let out and I couldn’t find a corresponding fabric to add to it to give it some length.  She asked if I could make the same dress for her in another fabric.  

I found this beautiful fabric from a local fabric store here in Central Florida called the Sewing Studio.  The picture does not do it justice as it is covered in very colorful sequin. 

I made this dress by copying the dress she ordered.  I literally just turned it inside out and laid it on top of fabric and traced it, not adding any seam allowance since this fabric has a lot of stretch.
