Night Circus Dress (Poppet)

Night Circus Dress (Poppet)
The Night Circus is a book by Erin Morgenstern.
In her story about love and magic she describes a visually stunning world dominated by black and white that could not be more colourful and iridescent.

I had a thousand sewing ideas in mind while reading the book and this first actually sewn dress I dedicate to the character Poppet.
Poppet is a young girl with firey red hair who grew up in the Night Circus. Althought Poppet rather wears only white, I think of this Night Circus Dress as “her dress”.

It will certainly not be the last piece I will create inspired by this book.

Matching accessory are the Black Cameo Choker and the Black Cameo Earrings.

Making of …

The original pattern is from Burda Style (3/2013).
At first I just gave the pattern an additional skirt layer that can be gathered like a bustle and attached to the lower skirt layer with press buttons.

Only later I made the dress an off-shoulder-dress and I am more satisfied with this neckline-solution than with the one of the original pattern.
Also the front closure is a deviation from the Burda pattern.

Completed: 2013
