The pattern is one of those reliable ones where the pictures on the pattern envelope are what you get. No fuss, no muss. Consequently, there's not too much to say about it!
I made this before. This time I used the shorter skirt and longer sleeves.
I used one of those soft rayon knits; you know - the ones that stretch longer and eventually pill and look like crap. But before then, they are soft and luscious, and supremely comfortable to wear. This is, consequently, a dress for only one season, or with luck two. I love the print.
There is a CB seam, but it's pretty much invisible.
My pattern review is here.
Your dress looks great! I hear ya on those rayons. There are good ones that last, but there's far more that don't. Glad to hear it's a reliable pattern since it's somewhere in my queue.
ReplyDeleteI haven't sewn in a couple of months, but today seems like a good day to jump back in. Seeing this, I think I know what I need to make! It looks great! LOVE that print.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty dress.
ReplyDeleteThis is such a fabulous dress. I hope it lasts more than one season, but alas you are probably right.
ReplyDeleteWow! Just another-other reason to make up this pattern!
ReplyDeleteWow! Lovely. Very pretty dress which suits you perfectly!
ReplyDeleteFantastic! I love both the print and the silhouette!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty, Kay! Looks good on you!
ReplyDeleteHow beautiful! Love the print.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love this pattern and your version looks gorgeous! Great job!
ReplyDeleteThat's a fantastic dress. The print is just awesome!
ReplyDeleteIt looks so good on you!
ReplyDeleteGreat dress and love the print. I hear you completely about rayon knits. Enjoy it while it lasts!
ReplyDeleteI wonder if you would have any luck removing the pilling from the rayon knit with a bronze wire clothing brush. I take care of all kinds of matting and pilling of fiber with one of those, and nothing has resisted being corrected by the brush. The pattern of the fabric is a good one I think. I like the way the back fits you.
ReplyDeleteWow, eye popping print and a great shape.
ReplyDeleteYou are the one who got me to buy this pattern in the first place! This is a great version. I am sewing some of those rayons right now. Gorgeous, but I know they will pill all too quickly.
