When I completed this dress, my first thought was, “This looks like something Kyle would wear!” Don’t you agree? It’s a basic wool sheath, with a draped detail and knots at the left shoulder. I drafted the pattern myself. The shell is a wool suiting, and the lining is black silk. The knots at the shoulder are faced in the lining fabric.
This photo shows a bit of my process. You can see my messy pattern . I sewed the tie pieces with the pattern pinned to the fabric. Then I tore the paper away, trimmed, and turned.

Gorgeous. Love the knots and how you sewed them up. It does indeed look like something Kyle would wear. Me too!
This is such a cool dress! I may have to copy that shoulder detail because it’s so awesome!
How fun! Yes, this does look like Kyle’s style!
Clean and interesting lines. BEAUTIFUL!!
This is beautiful!!!
Beautiful! I like your trick of sewing the ties while on the pattern. And yes, it is a Kyle dress. Perhaps out of a wool double knit, right?
I’m allergic to wool, so…RPL double knit it is!
It does look like a Kyle-style dress! LOVE the detailing!
great dress, I love the knot detail.
