This is my next project. 
I have been reading through the instructions for this dress. I was impressed by the dress Cennetta of Mahogany Stylist made for her daughter. I am excited by all of the combination options included in this pattern. I plan to make the ruffle top with stand up collar and straight/pencil skirt. Sleeves or no is dependent on fabric availability, though I think there will be sufficient fabric for a short sleeve version.
Here is my fabric choice. 
Very spring looking IMHO. Today we are having winter again, high of 47 after a Saturday and Sunday highs in upper 60's to low 70's. So sewing spring colors and lighter weight fabrics are keeping me in a spring time mode. The green/pink/yellow apple fabric I acquired from a vintage fabric seller on eBay. This fabric is truly lovely and feels great. Whether truly vintage, I don't really know but it met my expectations when it arrived, actually it was better than expected. The green is a silk noil I purchased from Nancy's Notions. I have not sewn silk noil in several years but I always liked the feel and the look garments from this fabric.
That will be a very pretty dress.
ReplyDeleteIt is a pretty combination and I like silk noil too! Are you washing your piece because it can get quite a bit nubbier by washing it...it would make a nice texture and play against the smooth cotton.
ReplyDeletePretty fabric choices. It will turn out nice!
ReplyDeleteI am totally into that pattern! Can't wait to see your version.
ReplyDeleteOh yeah, that pattern is pretty. I have it too, and so far I've a muslin. I love the fact that you can make a ton of different dresses with it, and they can look pretty unique. I'm excited to see your version of it. :)

I'm liking that the Runway patterns have a lot of choices to put together. That's really an improvement and great addition. The other pattern companies should take a clue.
ReplyDeleteI appreciate your choice for this sweet fabric!! I will wait for your final product!! Best of luck!!
ReplyDeleteI really like it! I've been wanting to make that pattern for a while just but just haven't figured out what fabrics and all. Plus busy on SWAP stuff so, well, there's my excuse. I can't wait to see your version!
ReplyDeleteI bought this pattern on eBay and I'll be interested in your notes. Great fabrics!
ReplyDeleteLinda, I really like the version you're planning to make. I had the same in mind for my dress. Your fabric section is very pretty and make your shine.
