Sketchy Stories + FMM: Solihiya So Chic!

In the spirit of crossovers which the DC shows have done so seamlessly, today is a crossover post. It's a sketch post with a tinge of Friday Magic Madness.

Last October, I wrote about this beautiful solihiya looking fabric that I bought from one of my fabric haunts.



One of the things mentioned in that post was that the design of the dress has to be simple and classic since the fabric is already ornate and detail-rich.


Eventually, I got around to sketching something for the fabric, and here's the chicken scratch.

Very classic. That's the best way to describe it. A bateau neckline, sleeveless, tea-length hem with a bit of hi-lo action. Done correctly, and if the dressmaker handles the fabric well, the final product is sure to be a knock-out.

And it was!


This is going to look so chic on Ate Bullet.

And speaking of chic, here's the part where Friday Magic Madness comes in.

Presenting, Chic's classic ditty from the 70s: Le Freak!



See, crossovers are fun!
