Another Kay Unger dress, that is. I picked up Vogue 1353 recently. I've had it in mind for a while.
Beth of SunnyGal Studio posted a helpful exposé of this pattern a year ago. Her initial review ended on a sour note, but she recently made it again so I guess she loves it after all.
And I have this. It's a silk sari. Luckily, the dress is lined because the sari is pretty sheer. It's woven with a seersucker grid which livens up the plain part in the middle.
This pattern is ideal for a border print, because the hem is completely straight.
I have it in mind to try to cut the front neck using the rounded ochre part, and the rest of the bodice in red. But I reserve the right to change my mind. I might cut the skirt double, if I have enough fabric...
However you decide to cut the fabric, I feel certain that your dress will be beautiful and well-fitted. I've been admiring your work for several years and enjoy seeing your creations. Best wishes from Toronto.
ReplyDeleteWOW! What beautiful fabric! And I love that pattern can't wait to see it sewn up.
ReplyDeleteWow, you can have some serious fun planning out this fabric layout! Can't wait to see what you decide. I find when I have that challenge I think of a new layout and usually settle on one at the last moment.
ReplyDeleteMeant to say I think of a new layout every day for days and the one I eventually choose is usually a last minute decision.
ReplyDeleteThat fabric is gorgeous! I can understand the pattern review from Beth but it is a cute dress on her. I can't even imagine what you will create but I know it will gorgeous.
