I design this dress for the Shabby Apple Dresses Dare to design contest. I have always loved the style of 50's and 60's dresses, and found inspiration in that era. I loved the empire waist on this dress making the waist seem longer with the ribbon wrapped around the waist,a satin ribbon matching the color of the fabric. The same ribbon would be on the hem of the dress, cap sleeves and the neck. The skirt of the dress would flow around you as you walk. I picture it in a light weight cotton in a bright but soft color, like Periwinkle or Cornflower Blue a fun spring color. To match the flowers that blooming in the spring.

That's so cool that you designed a dress!! I really love 50s and 60s style dresses too. I've always wanted to try and sew myself some dresses from that era. Good job on the design!! I would totally wear that dress.
