At the end of that post are two coordinating cotton fabrics I cut into for a dress tonight.
I hemmed and hawed awhile about what pattern to use. I was all settled on the left view of this OOP Simplicity, but after laying out the pieces (but before cutting, luckily), I decided it would be just too sweet and cute in that fabric.
So I decided on this Simplicity pattern instead. I'm making the fuller skirt, sleeveless, with the contrasting fabric peeking out around the midriff band and used as bindings. I hope the more sophisticated cut of the dress will counteract the cutesy fabric (which I really adore). I cut it out and sewed up the skirt portion tonight, so no turning back. What do you think...?
Cute skirt! I love oranges and reds together in the same print. Can't wait to see the new dress.
ReplyDeleteCute skirt! Love that print!
ReplyDeleteI think the dress will turn out nice and summery.
Great skirt, that print is lovely. And I think the dress will be beautiful, can't wait to see it!
