“Morgan” Key to Success

“Morgan” is an EMc2 Spring dress in development. Our clients constantly ask for dresses to wear to weddings.
This radius sleeveless dress allows for different sizes of women’s busts. The skirt radius pleats leave room for dessert and ease for hips. I was playing with an idea of having a waist band treatment. While working on it, Steven walked in. “PLEASE show more skin! I’ll sell it to every woman who walks in!” We discussed putting a cut out, and cutting down the neckline 1″ and narrowing the shoulder seams. I had researched French couturier Madame Gres and referenced an off to the side cut out. Seaming a diamond cutout down the center front, would have made it easy. A more refined “keyhole” is just interfaced, cutout and lined.
This is Morgan in first fitting.

The radius pleats are to the neck and to the hemline keeping the focus on the center of the figure.

Madame Gres side tie 1977 top plays off of “raglan” sleeve seaming.

This is “Morgan” with a diamond “Key Hole” to mimic the dimensions of pleats. The narrower shoulders and lowered neck give it a fresh look. I asked our client, interior decorator Virginia Cohen who bought a dress for her son’s wedding today
to try it on. She loved it and so did her girlfriend. I love to ask the opinions of EMc2′s clients as they love to know that ultimately we have them in mind.

I’ll be cutting this dress in solid turquoise and solid white a fresh spring print. Show More Skin, and still be sophisticated!
