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.

Ivory Silk Satin Sabrina Dress

 

This lovely wedding dress is styled after the black satin dress worn by Audrey Hepburn in the film ''Sabrina'' I used a beautiful medium weight 100% silk satin in ivory and fully underlined it with broadcloth to support the silk i then lined the dress. The bodice has boning in each seam to keep the waist as smooth as possible. My client chose to omit the center front seam and to keep the unmatched front princess seams. Since the measurements required a larger bust the princess seams sit a little differently as well. I used an invisible zipper and decorative covered button up the back. The skirt has an attached netting slip underneath. The shoulders I left as adjustable ties :-)

The Audrey Hepburn Oscar Dress-Custom Variation

This was a custom request based on the Oscar dress worn by Audrey Hepburn. She chose an ivory linen fabric and a lovely cotton embroidered mesh lace fabric. The lace bodice was made as a removable jacket with sleeves. Fully lined in fine tulle with back button and loop closure. So the top could be worn for the ceremony and removed for the reception. I used a vintage buckle kit to make the waist belt which also has the lace overlay. you can check out the original version listing through my Etsy shop Morningstar84  ''Audrey Hepburn Oscar Dress''
