Noir Regency Curtain-Along dress musings... Help!
Ok, so there's this dress:
I know a lot of people are familiar with it now, since the American Duchess such a beautiful job of it. I've been planning on doing this dress, too; however, I have some questions about the construction before I get started. I thought I'd pitch my questions here.
Ok, here's a blurry close-up of the front:
It looks to me like there might be a center front opening perhaps? It looks like there is a vertical line there at the center, but it certainly doesn't seem to go past the "waist."
I also see what looks like a covered button on the shoulder? I think the American Duchess did hers as a drop front, which makes sense to me, but if so, it looks like the drop front goes all the way up to the top of the shoulder... And if so, why have a front center opening?
So, my friends, what are your opinions?? HALP!
