Princess of Power Dress
It all started with this dress….
This dress is inspired by the great fantasy costumes of the Princess-of-Power-figures which were my favourite toys when I was a little girl (Who wants to know: they were the girls of the Masters-of-the-Universe-guys).
The dress is made out of red and black panne velvet with a black gimp for the cording at the neckline, full-length and with many high trenches in the skirt part and openings at the top part, that show much bare skin.

Making of …
1995 there have been my first attempts in sewing. This dress is a good example for how clueless I approached the whole thing.
The pattern is completely self-made by simply ignoring that making sewing patterns is not trivial at all.
But something came out of it ;-)
The dress is exclusively sewn by hand.
Completed: 1996
… in Action
The first time I wore that dress was at the party for my 19th birthday.
Sadly there are no pictures of that….
Status: in my Klamottenkiste, but I don’t wear it any more ;-)
