I’m sure you’ve all seen this autumn 2005 gown from Roland Mouret — if not on the runway, then on innumerable starlets on the red carpet. (I leave the googling up of those links as an exercise for the reader.)
Now, my friends, you can make your own! Melissa sent me this vogue pattern:
At, one must assume, a fraction of the expense of a “real” Mouret. (Actual math, again, left as one of those pesky visitor exercises.) The vogue pattern, as well, has a long-sleeved version, as well as one with a pleated hem, both of which variations charm to me. I likewise like it as shown, in a prince of Wales inspect or some other menswear fabric; much less obvious than a single bright vampy color. as well as while we’re firmly in the realm of hypotheticals, I’d want to adapt the skirt to have welt pockets, with flaps matching those on the sleeves.
What would you make with this pattern?
