About the final project for: Design and Make a Dress from the '60s

Design and Make a Dress from the '60s

“We welcome you to the "Final Project" section! After all the efforts you have made during the course, it is time to share your result with the world. In order to show you all the steps of your creative process, we show you how to structure your final project. Design Your Dress: Choose the pattern and fabric type of the 60s-style dress you want to make. Also draw a mini sketch of your dress, to help you visualize it better.

Take your body measurements and choose the correct size. Then, print and assemble the basic pattern.
Customize your pattern with shape changes, style changes, adding a flounce or button placket to your dress. Show us the result!
Once you have changed the pattern to your taste, cut the fabric and start sewing your dress. Then, refine the final details, completing your final project. Share some photos of the various steps.
Finally, show the final result of your work to the whole community!
If there is any detail that you particularly like, please let us see.
And if you've also created a variant of the dress, don't miss the opportunity to share that too!
We look forward to seeing your creation and engaging in constructive conversations about all of our works. So, don't forget to leave feedback to other people who have taken the course. Also, if you like, you can share your creation on Instagram, using the hashtag #NivulePesciRossiDomestika . We will try to be as present as possible in the forum to be able to give you some advice and get to know each other better. Soon!”

Novella was born into a very creative family and has never been a follower of current trends, always opting for her own signature style. After studying fashion design at the IED in Milan, she did some work experience at a small tailor's in Florence as well as at a bag-making company while working on her personal projects in her spare time. This is how she came to found Nivule, where she started to create her own dresses to sell on Etsy.

Tania has been fascinated by fashion and sewing since she was a girl, especially by the materials and textures of fabrics. After studying at AFOL Moda, she began to work in artisanal tailoring. Later on, she collaborated with a theater company and an artist, both of which left their mark on her style, until in 2011, she founded her own brand Pesci Rossi.

That same year, Novella and Tania crossed paths at A/mano Market in the the Italian city of Plasencia, and in 2015, they decided to join their hands and minds thus giving birth to Nivule + Pesci Rossi. They immediately began collaborating with graphic artists and illustrators to create dresses with truly unique prints.
