30's fashion: evening dresses

As anticipated, i'm going to show you the dresses I sew for the New Year's Eve party, along with the original fashions that inspired them.
I got the idea while searching in internet for some Myrna Loy outfits for Ofelia, and I came across these beautiful pictures:


Veronica
Evening dresses are not exaclty my greatest passion, as you can see browsing my blog so far, but I really like this kind of design a lot


Agata
So I sew the first dress, and then the New Year's Eve party was on its way!!!

Ofelia
I made two versions of this one, is the one I like best


Camilla
Caterina
And then, among the google result I came across this one, which is from the late 20's, but I loved the oversized ribbon idea


Vittoria

As you see I only picked the general line of the dress, and used satin instead of the softer fabric of the original dresses.
Just to be prepared for next year (and not having to face Cecilia's anger) I'm going to add three more of  these dresses for the tall (FR2) girls: Cecilia, Giada and the new Dania (she doesn't have a name yet).
