The dress is complete except for hook and eye at the back; and I am still searching for the perfect button for the collar. As I noted in my last post, I changed the sleeve from 3/4 with cuff, to a shorter sleeve with no cuff.
I am preparing another dress or two for sewing. The one I am going to sew first is this Butterick pattern:
I fell in love with this dress pattern because of the ruffled neckline and princess seams. I am deviating from the look of the dresses on the envelope which are all in solid colors which I plan to do also. But I wanted to make up this fabric and decided the dress does not have to be a solid.
This fabric is a purchase from Vogue Fabrics earlier this year. I fell in love with this print and color. I don't normally wear this color much; yet I was drawn to it. Good enough for me to purchase it. I plan to pin fit the pattern this afternoon and hopefully between having to do some house cleaning and some homework for my job, I will fit this all in.
I can't wait to see the NL on you! It's very pretty on the hanger. And I bought the butterick princess seam dress pattern too because of the ruffle detail. I like the fabric you chose - very au courant!
ReplyDeleteI wanted that Butterick pattern, but couldn't get my size when they were on sale last weekend. Looking forward to seeing your made up.
ReplyDeleteI love it. Especially the fabric.
ReplyDeleteThe NL dress looks so pretty. I have always loved red and white color combinations. Interesting Butterick pattern. I totally missed it. The fabric you plan to use is really pretty.
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty dress and thought it was pink at first but realize its red/white. I am adding that pattern to my list.
ReplyDeleteI love that Butterick pattern! The ruffle is so pretty and feminine without being too much. I think it will look great in that print- can't wait to see it!
