 The basic shape of the dress can be obtained in a number of ways, an easy one can be to use a dress you own (with no stretch) and fits fine as a guideline. If you choose to do this remember to cut the front and the back of the dress leaving enought fabric around the borders (seam allowance) to adjust the fit.

The back of the dress arrives till the armpit.

I've sewed the front and the back of the dress together.

 This is what i've done to obtain the neckline:

you have to cut a curved piece of fabric

i've used a rope to define the neckline on the dress and around the neck

i've traced this curve over a piece of paper and then adjusted the width

Dopo avere cucito il davanti e il dietro del vestito questo è il procedimento per fare lo scollo:

ho utilizzato una corda per segnare il percorso della stoffa sul davanti del vestito fin dietro al collo

ho ricalcato questa linea su un pezzo di carta e poi ho aggiustato la larghezza del pezzo.

i've cut two curved pieces of satin fabric and i've stitched them together

then i've turned the piece over and pressed it with the iron to make the seam flat

then i've cut the excess border of the dress and inserted the satin neckline into the fluffy fabric

Ho tagliato due pezzi curvi di raso e li ho cuciti insieme da un lato.

Now some work till i got the dress ready to be decorated!


The pattern

Loose threads
And the dress is done!
Now let's move on with decorations!
I've cut more than 60 rectangles of fabric for the decorations, sewn the borders to avoid loose threads, folded and then sewn on the dress




Deciding loops position (they don't need to be on rows just try to fill the space regularly)


Finished dress

What do you think?I put longer loops at the neck to make it more regular and well refined. I decored the dress on the back of the skirt too, i don't know if the Lanvin's dress has decorations on the back.Personally i don't like those dresses decorated on the front only because they make the dress look like an apron. It looks like they didn't have enought time to finish the dress.
As you can see i left the waist decorations free. That's where you put a wide elastic belt. The final result is a slim looking waist compared to the puffy effect of the decorate dress. I love it!



Dress tried on
Now just some numbers to let you figure out if it's worth realize this dress instead of just buying it.
the fabric cost 22 euro (but was a special price, a remainder piece)
(price of fabric will depend of your choice (and shop), polyester is 8 euro per meter, pure light wool 44 euros per meter)
i employed a full day of work to complete it, like 9 hours
Lanvin dress is 129 euro
Now i'm even more curious to see the h&m collection!
