I found another dress I like - this one is a little more casual and would work for daytime gigs.
Although it's sleeveless, I like the line of this dress. I think cap sleeves could be added and still look good.
I can't figure out what kind of mesh they are using. Or how the denim is attached to the mesh. However, it looks like the stretch denim is cut on the bias. It also doesn't look like they used darts to shape it, which would make sense if the whole thing was very stretchy.
This fabric-making technique would maybe work well in other styles of dresses, as seen here in EvaDress's 1939 gown. A blog post about the original dress that inspired her, as well as how she made the fabric is here.
ETA Oh! And Lorelai's dress from "They Shoot Gilmores, Don't They?" dance marathon:
I should look through my vintage patterns to see if this would work for any patterns I already have. Another thing to add to the to do list. Or the TADA! list. :)
