This was another quick dress. I barely had enough fabric to make the dress. The pattern is B5794 (Duh, G - you said that in the title!). The fabric was some mid-weight jersey that was in the cupboard.
I made view D. I have plenty of cross over bodices and wrap dresses - so I really didn't need another dress with that look.
You will notice that my version is different that the modeled version. Well I didn't have enough fabric to make the ties as long as they were called for in the pattern. And then I didn't love how they looked tied. I'm thinking my fabric was a bit thicker than the drawing photo.
Then - I got it mostly done without finishing the hems. And left it sit on the ironing board for a week. Also - I decided that since I wasn't going to tie it I would make a 'knot.' But then a week ago Tuesday I went down to grab the garbage from the sewing room and scooped up all the scraps and put them out with the trash. UGH. No extra fabric for the knot. The sleeves were originally going to be 3/4 length. I'm not sure about how I feel about the finished length. They were comfortable enough all day - but they look a bit awkward in these photos. What do you think?I think I will make this dress up again - but most likely in a more stable knit.
The side view? Yea JB said - do you need a side shot? And I said yes, what do I do with my arms? What *DO* you do with your arms for a side view?
