Jasper Conran patchwork dress- SS13 collection

AWESOME!, Is all I can say after I stumbled on this picture during one of my 'wanderings' around the cyber world. :) looking for style ideas for a dress I'm about to make, to attend a birthday party today! : D  I love patchwork like this..but its very tricky, it requires a high level of technicality,creativity and accuracy. I think the less stressful method is the rectangular piecing(sewing strips). This dress has the hexagon pattern (hard or what?!), hence 'should' cost a fortune.I respect this designer and the seamstresses(they are the real workers).. Whew!

                                Oxfam                                                                       Sears catalogue 

So I've done a quick reality check, and I have come to a conclusion that with my level of sewing expertise, I can confidently make any one these less stressful,less time consuming and equally stunning garments instead.  : P  However, I have accepted the challenge of making some hexagonal ones in future. (Battle line is drawn! Funmi Vs Jasper Conran ¬_¬)

I am so inspired,feel like to make one right now!, so I'm on a fabric-rampage,Be warned!.^_^

Let me know which one you like the most and why...

Thanks for viewing
