Pleated Shoulder Dress
June 7, 2010 8:35 amThis is a dress I made recently. It’s a simple grey knit dress- very form fitting. (Thank God my sister modeled it for me 
)
It has folded/pleated sleeves. I wanted to create some texture, but not have them ruffled or poofy.
I love unexpected things on garments. That’s why I love asymmetry so much. For this dress, I did a plunging scoop in the back with a large zipper.

It was a pretty simple dress to make, maybe coming soon to the shop!
One of my peasant tops was in the window of Stripe this week!

Love the new dress, and I adore the puffy sleeves. And the peasant blouse is gorgeous!

It’s beautiful! The sleeves are gorgeous. I may have to try doing a similar look for a top sometime. (I highly doubt that my final product will look anywhere near that nice, though.)

Alexis, this is gorgeous! Those sleeves, and the contrasting zipper, wow, I love it!
Must be so much fun seeing your creations in a store…It makes me dream!
