Shabby Apple, one of my most favorite sites for cute (and modest!) dresses is having a dress design contest. I thought it would be fun to enter so here is my design submission.
I love the style and elegance of Jackie Kennedy and late 1950's to early 60's. There was something so timeless and flattering about the clothes that women wore during these years, so that is my inspiration for this design. The fabric I would choose for this dress would be a cotton/spandex sateen blend (enough thickness to hold the shape well, but some stretch for comfort). The color I would choose would be black (although it would also be lovely in deep shades: Blue, teal or gray) This dress would be great worn with flats for the daytime or dressed up for an evening look with heels and perhaps some pearls.
