Grace Kelly

This is another skirt-to-dress remake with a bit of slapdash pattern cutting thrown in.

The V&A had an exhibition back in 2010 called ‘Grace Kelly – Style Icon‘ and published a book alongside the exhibition called ‘Grace Kelly Style‘. The front cover of the book is an image of Grace Kelly taken in 1955, wearing a pink and grey dress with circular arc sections in contrast material at the chest/neckline.
First thought on seeing this dress was that it would make a really interesting pattern drafting project.

 Here's my version:

Millions more pictures, a full descriptions and plenty of diagrams for anyone who wants to try drafting this over at my blog, Charity Shop Chic.
