I'm going to a wedding in a couple of months & I want to MAKE a glamerous dress to wear. Although I'm an adequate sewer I'm not too great on style! Need some help please.
There is a loose theme of 1970's african inspired, so I'm thinking something a little floaty/glam, perhaps a maxi dress? I'm not afraid of colour.
I'm size 18 & 42 so I have a few requirements:
Mini is not an option - must be at least below knee length.
I'd prefer some coverage of top of arms.
Boobs are quite good so gotta work in a little cleavage.
Any plus size sewers out there who can recommend a good pattern/style?
I would love to make the dress but would consider something off the peg if I found the right dress.
