Pleats Around Neckline - This Dress Needs No Accessories!

1/14/2015

0 Comments

 
You know you wear something so comfortable when you feel like you are wearing PJs ... And this dress is all that! So so comfortable. No zipper, no buttons. Just a pull over that is dressy enough and really the perfect little black dress for any occasion.

I enjoy altering standard patterns and in this dress, I opened both the front and the back to add fabric and volume. Once I folded the expanded pattern back together, I ended up with pleats around the neckline. As I move, the pleats move too giving the dress a nice visual appeal. Plus, I don't really need any accessories to feel put together! The pleats act as such a lovely 'necklace'!

I inserted a panel around the waist to suggest a belt and to create a transition between the more voluminous top and a more streamlined bottom. The skirt of the dress is A-line - it sits nicely around the waist and hips but widens to allow for a comfortable movement of the legs. 

And while I often wear this dress without anything around my neck, I do enjoy a variety of shoes. Animal print pumps, red flats, black boots - whatever I feel like wearing on my feet, this dress can handle!

Do you have a dress that you love for its comfort and for this versatility?
