Now we develop the blouse a little further, the collar is gone, the fabric is still silk, but black this time. I have replaced the collar with black Nottingham lace, this gives the neckline a little more interest whilst still keeping it off the shoulders.
The blouse fastens down the front and is trimmed with tiny black buttons. I have taken away the formality of the cuffs and elasticated the wrists and trimmed them with the lace.
I wanted to make this skirt more shapely. I was very tempted to make a waistcoat for this one, but wanted something a little in between. The top of this skirt is shaped up into curvy straps to show off the figure. Working the curves into this was quite difficult but I wanted to get away from the harsh straight lines of straps. The dress is made in Silk Dupion.
Her hat is taken from the Gabby challenge but worked in different colours to match this outfit.
To finish off she has black plain boots which just keeps all the lines flowing and balances the black colour of the blouse.
