Hostess Dress
ok, so this isn't so much a "new design" for me (I've been making versions of the Hostess Dress for 8 years now), but I've given it some new tweaks and options that make it fresh & even more fabulous.
Pretty much the perfect attire for when you're throwing a party ... or just want to feel like you are. |
Custom-fit & hand-made, one at a time, by me, just for you. |
"new" hostess dress: smaller collar

"classic" hostess dress: larger collar
yardage requirements for the Hostess Dress:
4 to 6 yards (depending on fabric width, dress size, & skirt style)
(1 full- or queen-sized flat sheet is usually adequate)
Suggested fabrics: just about anything.
Seriously, I've made Hostess Dresses in a range of wovens (from silk satin to vintage bed sheets),
as well as knits (double-knit works quite well for a vintage-waitress look)
