Q & A

Q. I’m new to Dress Shop. I selected a size and then drafted my garment but I can’t see what it looks like. Where’s the model?

 

A. To view Mia and your chosen garment, click on the blue “Design” button, which is located at the top of the vertical row of option buttons between the left and right of your screen.

 

Q. I know I have the sleeve designer, but all I get is a standard type sleeve editor. Am I missing something?

 

A. The custom sleeve designer is available for people who own the original Fashion Designer or the currently offered Fashion  Designer  1 . To work with the 'Custom Sleeve Designer', once you have selected your garment, select the Sleeve option box on Mia and in the pop-up menu select 'Custom'.

Spring & Summer 2005 Collection Released!

This exciting new offering from Livingsoft contains 55 patterns reflecting the most beautiful and fashion-forward styles for spring and summer 2005.  Included are filmy fun overdresses with shaped godets and hanky hems, sized to float over the simplest sheath or most casual shift.  Also included are princess halter tops, beach wraps, sun dresses, kicky 1930 flapper cut dresses with godets, and wonderful crinkle fabric skirts that float and dance around in motion.  We then added raglan princess tops, Capri pants, bolero jackets, and shrugs for cooler evenings.

For special occasions, select a romantic 30’s style column with an underdress of silk or rayon and a chiffon overdress with hanky hems staggered over the pointed godets.  Use our new slip dress under the chiffon or crinkle layer.  Plan a summer camping trip and hike in great walking shorts with cargo pockets topped by a stretch-to-fit tank.  The Dress Shop Spring & Summer 2005 Collection contains styles that take you from casual wear to elegant soirees.  Start adding these fashion forward jewels to your wardrobe today!
