Gorgeous X-Men-Inspired Magneto Dress

View fullsize

Last week, we shared some cool Star Wars-inspired dresses created by Catherine Elhoffer. She has released an new dress for you to check out that was inspired by Magneto’s look from Marvel’s X-Men. This dress is absolutely stunning. 

This was a commission dress, so she won’t be selling these unless you commission one of your own! Elhoffer talks about the dress, saying:

“This dress is so luxurious!! The split cape in the back is a people georgette, so it's thin and billowy. The squared neckline and inset belt is a deep purple violet duchess satin backed with coutil (my #Corsetry background has me spoiled with the best lining fabrics). And the deep red striped double backed scuba has an amazing stretch and drape. Don't look at the hashtags for the hint! ;)”

Maybe someone commissioned it for the X-Men: Apocalypse premiere!

Ok, nearly complete with my #hautecouture commission. Any guesses as to my #geek #inspiration on this piece??? ;) a few of you got it in my sneak yesterday! I'm always shocked by how fast I can #sew when I'm #inspired. This dress is so luxurious!! The split cape in the back is a people georgette, so it's thin and billowy.
