So all these feelings of Fall are naturally steering me towards Sugar Plum Fairy Dances and Winter Balls and such. I've telling myself for about 6 months that I really need to make a Showstopper. You know the one item in your shop that makes people stop and stare and say "Wow! I would LOVE to have that!" And it would showcase my skills and cost a very pretty penny (to make and retail). I wouldn't expect it to sell immediately or to even make dozens of them. I just want to make one that makes people take notice of my work.
So my questions to you are:
1. Should it be a dress?
2. If so, a formal dress?
3. Should I make it in my size? Or some generic average size?
4. If not a dress, then what show stopping ideas do you have?
5. What would make you stand up and say, "Wow! She's a good seamstress! I want to have something made for me."

I would say to make a dress that has a handbag/purse to go with. The dress will make them stand up and the matching bag/purse is the WOW! working in fashion for 3 yrs (prior to this) I say something with a high collar and high waist, maybe some leather, or gazar, china silk or something that just grabs the eye...
But you are fierce so I know you will do the right thing....
