New Look 6224

or the last dress of Summer. 
 

The fabric is a very light weight, floral jersey from Girl Charlie.
 
The pattern is a combo of New Look 6224
for the bodice and the Lady Skater for the skirt.
 
 
 This pattern is for wovens.
But honestly, I couldn't be bothered.
I made it with a knit and it worked just great.

 
I made this dress the last weekend in September.
It was comfortable and easy to wear.
I love the Lady Skater skirt - it's fun.

 

There is some green in the print so I put on a green belt to help highlight my waist.
I still have one and I like to show it.

  3. Fun to mix and match pattern pieces. Are you moving on to wintry fabrics next?

  4. That dress is really flattering. I think you should make more like it, perhaps with long sleeves for cold weather wear. I like the color, and the belt is a good touch.

  7. Honestly I wonder why you strive to fit a sheath dress when these flare skirted dresses look sooooooo beautiful on you! I love everything about this...the fabric you chose...how you mixed the two patterns...EVERYTHING! You could make loads of these using color blocking, solid colors, etc. to make a wonderful wardrobe of these!

  8. Hi G, I agree with Carolyn - these dresses are made for you (they would look awful on me) - and the knit adds so much softness. I agree, make more of these... as Carolyn says, in all sorts of ways.
