This pattern worked best for me because even though fuller skirts like the inspiration dress are cute (and look adorable on my daughter), I prefer sheath style dresses.  But it still captured the spirit of what I had in mind.

I didn't have to make an FBA, because this is one of those cool patterns that offer bra cup variations.  You pick the size that you would normally cut and your cup size.  Simple!  After that, I made my normal lengthening alteration.  

Do you guys remember the movie I worked on as costume designer last year this time?  Well, "The Coalition" premiered this past weekend in Miami at the ABFF (American Black Film Festival).  Unfortunately, I was unable to attend (I hear my name looked FABULOUS on the big screen, LOL), but it was a MAJOR success (both showings sold out)!
All in part to the creative talent of Team Sizzle Films, Inc. headed by Executive Producer, Writer Terrell Suggs of the Baltimore Ravens (NFL Defensive Player of the Year) and my friend and blogger Monica Mingo (Producer, Directer, Writer).

Here is the synopsis:  

The bad boys club is really not all that bad. Young, rich and handsome...the boys know how to have a good time. They love women, fast cars and doing whatever they want to do. There comes a time in life, however, when karma is helped along. When it's done by a group of scorned women...it can prove to be devastating.

Starring: ADRIENNE BAILON, JACKEE’ HARRY, J.R. RAMIREZ, DENYCE LAWTON, EDDIE GOINES, NICOLE GARZA, SHANTI LOWRY, NADINE ELLIS,  INGRID CLAY,  SATU MAKEDA, SANT’E ANDREWS, CHANTA NOEL PATTON, AND INTRODUCING JAMES PHILLIPS.

I love a crisp, clean, cool and sparkling white dress.  For me, it's impossible for it to be summer without one.  I've been seeing lace and eyelet everywhere, so I decided that eyelet would be my choice of fabric for this dress.
