Jackie Kennedy-Bright Pink Off Shoulder Wiggle Dress

 This was a custom request dress, my customer had only the pictures below, and was unable to find a photo of the lower portion of the dress so we went with a straight skirt. The dress if fully lined and had a wide bias facing inside the neckline. Because it sits just off the shoulder i sewed boning in the sides, front bust seams and the back to help hold the dress in place. I decided to go with a little 60s mod detail and have the front square off with a bow instead of just a normal waist seam. The dress sits a bit low on the dress form because she only has one arm, but you get the idea :-)

Custom Request-Britney Spears Stretch Lace Crop Top-

 This was a custom request, a top like the one worn by Britney Spears in one of her music videos.
After going through the available stretch lace options she chose the teal as shown above. I had to watch this video several times to figure out how it was put together. Below the the screen grabs i used. I happened to have a stretch satin that was the exact color left over from another project! I love when that happens and i did gold buttons on the cuffs and at the back of the neck.

Pinup Pants- Marilyn Monroe Slacks

 I finally got to make the pants for this outfit! They are high-waist cut about 3'' above the natural waist so they fit nicely under the top, also the pants are a bit shorter at a capri length. The original outfit worn by Marilyn was a jumpsuit, so it would have had less fabric at the waist and wouldn't have to worry about the top slipping up, the pants were straight leg and covered the top of her shoes.
