Excecutive Wife Christmas Party Dress

A tip for fashion designing is to always draw your figure before drawing clothes on her. This helps you get the right proportions. I tried to do this dress as a special occasion dress, with unique embellishments. I hoped the effect would be a somewhat modernized-looking dress with a mind of its own. The black spots along the hem and sides of the sleeves are slits with a different colored fabric showing underneath. I imagine the dress made out of shiny satin. Please tell me how I did!
