A LATINDRESS. . .

- Was my latest commission/challenge. I have to say, designing the Latin dress was the fun part of it.

But dancing-dresses are as you might know, made of some kind of stretch-fabric, which I have to admit wasn´t the easiest material to handle. It has to be overlocked and sewn with a twin-needle and it can´t really be ironed.

That´s why you have to bast it or stich it with a zig-zig for the fitting. On top panties and bra are incorporated into the dress.

For the fitting you have to tighten and adjust it. If the fitting needs adjustments and you have to undo overlock seams, you use an unproportionally amount of time, I had to realize that I had to cancel the order.
 
Conclusion: it was my first and probably also last kind of those dresses. Ideas come easy though, so I would not mind to design dancing dresses in the future. But someone else would have to make it.
