party-armor: long black sculpted dress

party-armor. I hand-built this dress, piece by piece. The surface is made of tiny panels of stretchy jersey with exposed serged stitching. It's sculpted, curvy, asymmetric. One arm is sleeveless, one has a capped sleeve. Made to be fitted on top and voluminous from the waist down. Long, full, drapey.

YES it has one spacious pocket. I know, I can't believe it either.

• rough size: Medium to Large
• actual measurments: measured without stretching — bust is 38 inches, waist 34, hips 64, length varies from 41 to 48 
• for comparison — this dress form is a Size 14 and measures: bust 40 inches, waist 31, hips 41
• fabric: 90% cotton jersey with 10% lycra - all the serging thread adds to the weight so expect this to feel s u b s t a n t i a l. Thus the name.
• care: machine wash in cold water, on gentle. Can be machine dried, but lycra lasts way longer if it's not exposed to heat - so consider drying flat and just puffing it up in the dryer on low. 
• hand made by me, exceedingly labor intensive and one-of-a-kind
