Another version of the Ottobre knit sheath dress.
Fabric is a wool jersey from Mood Fabrics, bought last Fall.
I thought it could be a wrap dress, but the fabric was thick.
The leaves are silver and painted on.
I really like this dress. It's fully lined and easy to wear.
So, you may ask - why is it a fail?
Well, I originally made it thinking I could wear it to my office holiday party.
When I finished it and put it on, JB said (and I quote)
"It's short!"
I ended up making another dress (full length) to wear to the party.
There was enough fabric left over that I made magic pencil skirts for both of my girls.
I really wish they both lived close, because I would totally do matchy/matchy photos.
Oh I love that dress and the fabric is gorgeous. And it is not too short!!! Very nice indeed.
ReplyDeleteJust love that leaf print ~ it looks brilliant on you ... particularly at that length! ... J
ReplyDeleteLooks great! Even if it isn't used for parties, I bet it will still get a lot of wear!
ReplyDeleteI love that dress and I don't think it is too short. Great job on your dress and your daughters' skirts.
ReplyDeleteNot so sure that this is a fail! It looks great on you. I like how you've styled it with the tights and boots!
ReplyDeletePerfect pattern for that lovely fabric....looks great!
ReplyDeleteVery nice - I hope you had fun at the party.
ReplyDeleteSO pretty,, I like the leaf print ..And the dress looks so comfortable.. Cute with the boots..
ReplyDeleteI love it too!!! It's so cute with those boots and I don't think it's short at all. Your sewing skills are really impressive. Happy Christmas and New Year :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful - you, the dress, the fabric!
ReplyDeleteHmmm, short must be in the eye of the beholder. I like it, and think the length is great! well done, it's lovely!
ReplyDeleteIt's a great looking winter dress - I think you will get lots of wear out of it as a more casual dress.
ReplyDeleteI love this dress. It's a perfect length for you. I love the silver leaves. Gorgeous.
