As I mentioned in a couple of posts back, I'm playing catch-up! This was one of my many summer dresses which I love, the color is so vibrant! Now, anyone who knows me, also knows that I kinda stear clear of color,lol. I'm a "Black-Out" chic, open my closet and that's all you get, lol!
Well, after my client asked me, do I ever wear any color? It got me to thinking, this year, I will only make and buy fabrics in color....time for a change.
Pattern Sizing: Most sizes, I chose a 14
Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it? Yes, I think so, lol.
Were the instructions easy to follow? Yes, they were ok, although I got a bit lost on the casing instructions.
Fabric Used: Some type of Rayon
Pattern Alterations or any design changes you made: I didn't make any alterations on this dress but next time a FBA.
Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? yes, and maybe the longer version!
Conclusion I thought this was a pretty cute dress overall, i like the fabric especially. I just got a bit lost on the casing instructions and had to come back to it the next day! .........Umm nope, that didn't help much, lol. So I improvised, and that worked for me! This is great for our hot summers here, (fall too!) and it only took 2 evenings to finish!
This was my first try @ an invisible zipper, and it was easy peasy with the right foot!
There were a couple issues, with the casing on this dress, I just didnt get it, so I improvised. I've been experimenting with bust adjustments lately and one was needed here. Next time I feel a lil more confident in trying to make a FBA. There are so many wonderful bloggers, that took time out and walked me thru this process, and I thank you, so much because I'm a visual learner!
Seeya!
