LMV Martini Dress – the pattern
LMV Martini Dress is made of a La Maison Victor pattern. I bought the pattern while we were buying fabric for the two male chino’s at Textielstad. The Martini Dress is a pattern from the first LMV magazine. The dress has a symmetrical look created by the V-shaped neckline placed at the left front and the different shapes of the front panels. At the time this first edition was released I hadn’t made the decision to sew all my clothes so buying sewing magazines wasn’t one of my interests. Half a year later I started making my clothes and while I was looking on the internet for inspiration I came across the Marini Dress. Although I’m not a frequently dress wearer I love LBD. I’ve made this one almost a year ago. A LBD is a type of dress that is perfect for dinner party’s, social drinks and other occasions.
