Tim Gunn has nothing on us!
Today's challenge: recreate and reinterpret this faaaabulous vintage look, as modelled by Millie the Minx

Dr Duckie, designing for her model Plink, decided to keep the simple directional lines provided by the striped fabric, utilising a scrap of Paul Smith shirting fabric she's had floating around for ages. For a more modern look, she's updated the skirt, reducing volume. Lengthening to floor level gives this the option to be worn as a sunny-day maxi or an elegant evening look.

Dr Duckie adds contrast stitching for interest instead of the slightly more whimsical rick-rack of the original.
 |
| Topstitching? Isn't that how you broke your machine last time? |
And in the finest traditions of Project Runway, the model has been sewn into her dress!
 |
| Yes, the back could be tidier. |
Am I through to next week, or is Heidi going to be sending me home?
