Evening Gown Update


For my senior project at BYU, I'm working on an evening gown with my sewing teacher, Dr. Burnham. I'm going to make it out of a wonderful metallic linen that i found at voguefabricsstore.com, and the underskirt (which will be gold, not purple), is out of dupioni silk. i am SO EXCITED FOR THIS PROJECT!! I have worked over 60 hours so far, and i'm still working on the muslin mock-up. Here's what i have so far:


The sleeves are still being worked out, so ignore the one sleeve completely. Dr. Burnham and i worked on this very intersting black/sleeve detail that i found on a hugo boss dress:
 
as you can see, there is a really cool back yoke that extends over the shoulder creating a little sleeve "flap". while Dr. B and i were working on it today, she said she was just "tickled" by it. i'd say that's a good sign. what do you think of the sleeve detail?
