Draped Back Jersey Dress

I drafted and sewed up this loose fitting draped back dress using the guidance of this blogger Moldesdicasmoda:

It was a fairly simple dress to sew, with just a front, back and back band piece to make.

I lowered the front neckline, but I think I took a little too much off as it sits pretty low in front:

I added a little stripy bralette from Free People underneath the top for interest under the drape:

This is a super comfortable dress to wear as it is an essentially shapeless fit.

I am quite happy with it overall, and it was a lot of fun to wear to a fashion show in town!

Just throw on some heels and go!
