MY DIY COPYCAT VALENTINO DRESS
A few months ago, I posted this super cute Valentino dress coming down the runway (from their Fall/Winter 2014 collection), and I knew almost instantly that I wanted to try to make it. Slow forward almost 3 months later, and my dupe dress is finally done!
The top of the dress is a mixture of New Look 6483 that I’ve previously made a gazillion Frankenstein dress patterns from (see HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE and HERE all from that same pattern) and I used the collar from New Look 6299 and added my own sleeve cuffs. My circle skirt is just the standard circle skirt pattern (see the first time I made a circle skirt HERE) except I added 9 inches in width to the front and another 6 inches to the back so that I could add inverted pleats along with some gathered tulle for a little more volume. And POCKETS. Pockets always.

Even though I took all the time in the world to sew this replica dress, I think it turned out cute. And while we’re talking about sewing, let me take the time (again) to answer a question that I continue to be asked, and that is “do you sew for hire?” And my answer has not changed. Truth is, I’m not a seamstress and I’ve never considered myself to be one… why, you ask? Because it’s not my calling. I have all the respect in the world for people who do custom sewing, that’s just not what I do. I’m just a girl who loves to sew pretty things and if I inspire someone else to dust off their sewing machine or learn to sew for the first time ever, then how cool is that?! So NOPE, I DO NOT sew for hire, but I will ALWAYS be flattered and humbled that you would ask. Now back to my finally finished copycat dress, check out a few more pics below! Also, what do you think about my new hairstyle? Scroll to the bottom of this post to see how I achieved my Halo/Goddess/Milkmaid Braid. Oh! And before I forget, my red shoes are by BCBGeneration, want your own pair? Click the red shoe below or get them HERE.
