navy blue maxi dress East Atlanta Cut with care to drape beautifully from empire line to full flowing skirt Quince Women's Stretch Silk Tiered

The thought of a bandeau dress might feel a little Y2K at first, but when it's expertly crafted with considered draping or embroidery, it will make you feel and look all the more premium

You can alter the pattern to make it suit your body shape like add a puffy sleeve or long sleeves or make it knee length or change the neckline to a deep V or make it in a single colour or pattern or add a fabric bow( which you can make following this tutorial for 7 types of fabric bows) or a sash ( tutorial for making sashes), eliminate the front placket altogether or add darts to make it look better

The back of the gown is equally enchanting, with lace applique straps and delicate embellishments that bring the whole look together

I used the same cow print pattern and silk fabric for the face mask

You can instantly make it festive by adding a vibrant red wool coat, a metallic gold clutch, or a pair of sparkling statement earrings

Faux pearl and bead embellishments
