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.

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

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 ;-)
