Can you believe I finished a dress? Yay!!!
¿Pueden creer que terminé un vestido?
This dress included a ruffle vertically down on one side of the front but I eliminated it. My print is very busy so the ruffle would just get lost.
Este vestido tiene un vuelo que cae verticalmente a un lado del frente del vestido pero yo lo eliminé. El estampado de mi tela hubiera escondido el vuelo.
The fabric has been in my stash many years. I think it is one of the first fabrics that Ann from Gorgeous Fabrics sold when she was starting out, it is a poly knit. I'm glad we had temperatures in the 70s yesterday that allowed me to wear this so comfortably; I wore a red cardigan at work because the AC was insanely high.
La tela hace ya muchos años que la tengo. Fue una de las primeras telas que Ann de Gorgeous Fabrics vendió cuando primero empezó su negocio. Las temperaturas han estado maravillosas por aquí lo que me permitió salir afuera y mostrarles el vestido. Usé un sweater rojo en el trabajo pues el aire acondicionado estaba que nos congelaba.
This is a very simple pattern with the added ruching at the raglan sleeves which makes it a little more special. I topstiched the shoulder seams after taking this picture to keep the seams down. I like that the skirt is A line, it makes for a very comfortable to wear dress. I would like to make this in a slightly heavier knit for fall/winter with long sleeves. This pattern is also included as a short and long sleeve top.
Este patrón es muy sencillo. El rizo en las costuras de las mangas les da un toque especial. Yo cosí las costuras hacia las mangas después de tomar esta foto para que quedaran bien pegadas. Me gustaría volver a hacer este patrón en una tela más gruesa para el otoño e invierno. En la revista el mismo diseño viene como un pullover de mangas cortas y largas.
Your dress looks beautiful! Love the print.
ReplyDeleteWhat neat fabric! The dress looks great!
ReplyDeleteLovely dress. I like the way you placed the print.
ReplyDeleteSo glad you noticed! I always like to place the darker areas around the waist in fabrics like this.
DeleteI agree with Catherine that the fabric is used perfectly.
