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.
It looks fabulous on you - great design and fabric color.
ReplyDeleteThis is a great silhouette for you. Good job on the frankenpatterning!
ReplyDeleteFun to mix and match pattern pieces. Are you moving on to wintry fabrics next?
ReplyDeleteThat 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.
ReplyDeleteYour dress looks good, knits are the best!
ReplyDeleteI second Marjie's motion. What a beautiful dress for lovely you!!
ReplyDeleteHonestly 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!
ReplyDeleteHi 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.
ReplyDeleteWow that dress fits you like a dream ~ and such a pretty color and style on you! And I can't believe you made that in a weekend!!! I'm having trouble sewing together a bunny dress... it's sat staring at me for months now LOL Hope you are having a wonderful fall and can't wait to see what "looks" you chose for fall ~
ReplyDeleteTHe green belt is perfect!!! great new dress
ReplyDeletethere is a dress in theses pictures, all I see is a beautiful woman. WOW. work on your photographer tho! and ignore Carolyn, you don't need 1 in every color
