My Black Patbo inspired dress
Hello This year outfit for my husband and I anniversary is inspired by Patbo. I must say that the most difficult material for making this dress was not the netting skirt fabric or the black lycra but the fringes trim, I was looking for the exact model, without luck, so I did have to use another fringe design. Instead of a net style fabric I decided to use chiffon, the net type fabric give me a beach vibe and I am not going to the beach. Here is the solution for the fringes. For making this dress, the best is to have a whole swimsuit pattern and draw the design, in that way you know that it will work for Lycra stretch factor. To sew the fringes, I did have to measure it with the whole dress already assembled due to stretch factor, something that the fringes trims do not have. I did want to hide all the sewing but due to fit I ended up top stitching the fringes and Gimp cord. For the armholes I used Fold-On-Elastic in black as binding, using the matte side and a small zigzag stitch.
