… and, all party and frill in the back. The gorgeous photography that captured it all is by my sister-in-law, Brooke.
A little plunge and a giant bow make for a dramatic back. The greatest part is how simple this stunning bow comes together.
The narrowness of the peter pan collar gives it a more grown up feel.
I spent some time on my muslin changing a few details to make the look exactly what I wanted, but there was no need to change the amazing basic design. Let me show you the few subtle changes that I made. First, I did a slight high/low hemline. I mean who doesn’t like a little extra cover in the back!?!
I changed the sleeve to a cap sleeve. You can see the original and the cap on my muslin I posted on Instagram.
I was worried that my undergarments might show or the top would be slipping off my shoulders all night, but neither were a problem. As for the fabric, it’s a very lightweight chambray swiss dot from Michael Levine. I love it! Thankfully, I have a tad more to make something for one of my girls.
I think it would be fun to make a simple tank from this pattern with the dipped back and no bow too. You know I like options.
