Bauhaus/Geometric inspirational dress lay out.

I choose to go with the same color palette as in one of Piet Mondrian paintings. Blue and Red on a bright white background with black/noir lines bordering each section. I decided to use Kona cotton a mid-weight breathable cotton that holds it's form rather nicely. The front of the dress has a lot going on so to keep everything balanced I did not touch the back to much. A center back zipper and a 2" black band wrapping around the waist to look like a belt. This gives the back a little more to work with. All ideas were worked out on muslin first than cut into individual pieces and laid out on pattern paper to be traced with a 5/8" seam allowance.
