Breakfast At Tiffany's Black Dresses

 Somehow i must have forgotten to blog about these, i know i have post pictures of both before but never did a post just on this classic film. This is my version of the black dress worn by Audrey Hepburn in ''breakfast at Tiffany's'' made from black matte satin with straight full length skirt,  side zipper. The original style has a gathered waist skirt and no walking slit for the ''hobble skirt'' walk that she does but not everyone likes the extra fabric at the waist so i have also done a more fitted version with a darted skirt also pictured above.

Second is my version of the short shift dress with the fringe hem. Scoop neck front and back, neckline and armhole facing body is unlined, tie sash is attached at the back darts. Black suiting fabric with black chainette fringe.

Today I was sent three customer pictures, as i have said probably a million times I love getting pictures. I rarely get to see the people i sew for anymore, I just work from numbers so seeing the final product on the person it was made for just makes me smile.  They purchased these outfits through my Etsy shop Morningstar84

Above we have the ''Girl Cant Help It'' Dress worn by my lovely customer. This time made in black instead of the usual navy blue to make finding accessories easier, i used a medium weight stretch black cotton sateen with black satin bows in the back and as the underlining for the collar. You can check out my original post about the first time i made this dress here 

Second is the  Audrey Hepburn ''Breakfast at Tiffany's Fringe Dress'' which just so happens to be made using the same fabric, the stretch black cotton sateen. Scoop neckline dress with  an attached tie belt and two rows of rayon chainette fringe. Somehow I forgot to blog about this dress! I will have to remedy that soon ;-)

And last but never least! One of my lovely Marilyn impersonators sent a picture wearing the Gold Lame Dress. this was the sample I posted about earlier here. As always I am posting these photos with permission from each individual shown and may not be re-posted or shared without their consent. Thank you!
