I am currently working on a Qipao/Cheongsam pattern with variations, and this one was just a quick pattern test for the stretchy fabric pattern. I used an emerald green remnant for this, I believe it’s lycra. Shiny fabric is usually not my favorite choice, but I liked the result so much that I added the emerald pendant and the tiny golden embellishment to turn the mock up into a proper dress. It’s a fun mixture of daring cleavage and modest high-necked collar, and I chose Melisande because of her hair color. It’s not her style, but it suits her surprisingly well.

Love this colour on her, it’s really good colour for a redhead. 🙂 I also like the style of dress with the jewel pendant and Cheongsam influence.

Thank you! I was actually surprised that it looks so nice. If you see a large piece of that fabric it just looks shiny and cheap – wich it probably was.
I agree with Sandi, the colour and cut are beautiful!
Thank you! I am making a red one in a non-stretchy fabric at the moment, and stretchy is a lot easier 😉
She looks amazing in this dress! Even, if it is not her style. I love you added the pendant – it changes everything.
Thank you :). One of the cases where I kept something because I thought I might use it at some point – Which was about 8 years later…
Tell me about it… I have tones of things “I will use it later…”
