Hello everyone!
I am happy to present my Pam Dress. This dress comes with a little story. Pam is my beloved cousin. There is only 6 months on age difference, so we grew up like sisters.
I have not seen her for 4 years and I missed her very much.
She was always the pretty one; she was funny and sociable. You know, well-adjusted LOL.
She is one of these women with lots of curves, beautiful shapes. Like women from the 50's. Something that these days is sooo underestimated.
That is why I wanted to try to make a dress to honor her beauty.
I chose the fabric to be modern and funky, so it will give the dress a more contemporary look.
Pam dress adapts great to women figures. It is flattering to the curves and the length of the skirt makes the body looks longer, almost stoic.
I love my dress :)
As always, please share the link with your friends and family. I would really appreciate it.
