Once the fitting work is done there isn't much more to Vogue 9022. I was flirting with the idea of lining it but decided not to due to (a) inadequate fabric choices and (b) a preference for simplicity.
I could have taken more width out of this but am afraid of over-fitting in a knit.Instead of a hook and eye at the back neck (as per the instructions), I made a thread loop for a button. It's totally unnecessary. This dress can be pulled on quite easily.
I must now turn to sewing a replacement swimsuit as my last one is literally falling apart. (I made it in November, 2016 and I swim twice a week, so it's surprising that I can still wear it at all!) After that, it'll be back to my knitting machines...
I love it. This is sleek and simple. This colour is superbe on you. Nice dress !

ReplyDeleteThat color is amazing! Very nicely done!
ReplyDeleteAnd, as I always feel compelled to comment when it's something I've made before...as a member of the Big Headed Club, I absolutely must undo mine to get it over my head. I added a short zipper though vs the keyhole :)
I want that dress, I have the pattern now I just have to find some beautiful teal ponte.
ReplyDeleteVery professional, looks like you bought it a store, what better complement is that?? don't you think?
