LBD with Red Hot Center

Well, I finally made the second May issue Burda dress. I have NEVER had a LBD (little black dress), it is still fair to say at my size it really isn't that little. BUT, it is exciting that I finally made some thing along the lines of one. Besides the style of this dress, I really enjoyed the idea of the red hot lining (I chose a soft red cotton fabric that feels so wonderfully soft against my skin and that will let the dress breath). I try to stay away from polyester it often make me feel like I am in a plastic bag.

The fashion fabric is a poplin cotton with some stretch. It is. oh so, comfortable. The dress to me is awesome I love the idea that no one can see that red hot lining. This was made possible by the under stitching. Under-stitching helps a facing or lining to stay to the inside and un-seen. I have done this before but I have not ever executed it as well as I have done in this dress. You cannot see any of the red lining. Under stitching explanation to come later!
