Well, here's the tease--sink into that moonlight blue!
Daisy, unbelievably, found this satin-covered button in a tin of loose buttons my neighbor gave me last week. The color is an exact match.
Here's the reveal:
Can't decide if I'm going to eat this or wear it. It is so delicious. It is Christmas Eve made into fabric.
Wow! I love it! I am currently working on a dress for my 7 year old and it's alright, but I don't have your talent.
ReplyDeleteThis is simply beautiful! Your sewing is such a vicarious thrill for me! :)
ReplyDeletei think i can hear the theme to white christmas playing right now. if only i could wear such elegance nightly...without the drool & leftover food & snot that is attached to my current robe! :)
ReplyDeletesimply divine!
Isn't that lovely!!!! What a color, and yes, the button exactly the same! Do you have a staircase in the house, so you can sweep down it in a dramatic way, wearing that gown/robe?
ReplyDeleteWow, it's absolutely beautiful!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutley elegant.
ReplyDeletenow, are you really going to wear that as a housecoat?? It is so gorgeous and I see it enjoying an evening on town. or is that tacky?
ReplyDeleteMargo
That is an amazing housecoat!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! I love it! Make more and sell in the store.
ReplyDeleteIt is lovely! My mom was a great seamstress. I am not.
ReplyDeleteStunning. Just stunning. My vote would be to wear it though, no my how delicious it may look!!!!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely gorgeous! That color is simply beyond description, and the finished product is -- well, breathtaking! Kudos to Daisy for finding that button!
ReplyDeleteYours in Christ,

Fabulous, rich, lush!
ReplyDeleteI think that is one of the most beautiful pieces of clothing I have ever seen. Definitely looks like it's out of an old movie.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad youposted about this pattern since I have it. Your results are outstanding! Love the shade of blue. Seeing it on the dressform makes me feel like it would look very nice as a housecoat/housedress in a shorter length. That's how I plan to make mine.
ReplyDeleteI would never get dressed if I had that to wear! :~}
ReplyDeleteLF
Wow! Ditto to all of the above. De-lish!
ReplyDeleteHousecoat...or evening gown?
ReplyDeleteIt is luscious.
This is simply gorgeous. I'm *completely* in love with it!
ReplyDeleteWow. That's divine. I'm in awe of the button match.
ReplyDeleteI love it, looks like something Greer Garson or Hedy Lamarr would have worn !
ReplyDeleteBeautiful style - beautiful color. Nice to see a robe that doesn't look like a robe.
ReplyDeleteJust gorgeous. Is that cotton velvet or something else?
ReplyDeleteHow are you getting along without your eldest? We sent our first to college this year too.
It makes me think of a 1940s movie. :)
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness. That is just amazing.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely eat it. :)
oNLY IN MY DREAMS COULD A PROJECT TURN OUT SO WELL.YOU SHOULD BE PROUD.
ReplyDeleteOh how lovely!!
ReplyDeleteHow GORGEOUS! I would wear it but definitely nibble on it throughout the day! It's amazing!! Prettiest thing you've ever made. But only because of my deep obsession with velvet.
ReplyDeleteStunning! I bet it will look gorgeous, too, at Christmastime, lit by the tree.
ReplyDeleteThat is really beautiful!! I love old patterns like that. It does remind me of Christmas. Enjoy :)
ReplyDeleteThat is simply beautiful.
ReplyDeleteOh my stars -- I love this -- gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteGeorganna
I love that you mentioned Christmas Eve! That's exactly what I thought of...as my grandmother used to have a similar ensemble that she would wear every year.
ReplyDeleteHow beautiful and truly memorable. You need family photo shoot on Christmas eve, with you in this housecoat!
ReplyDeleteOh, I'm so drooling over this housecoat!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Work!
It is absolutely gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteWow! That is so beautiful!! It looks wonderful!!
ReplyDeleteOh my! Absolutely gorgeous, Anna. It's very Old Hollywood glamorous, and I think I'm coveting just a little bit. :)
ReplyDeleteIt is beautiful!!!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Simply beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThat is truly beautiful.
ReplyDeleteGreta Garbo, eat your heart out. Love the robe!
ReplyDeleteOh Anna,
ReplyDeleteThe housecoat is beautiful. The color is gorgeous and the fabric does looks yummy. I like your comment about how delicious it looks. Smile.
Have a blessed day.
Peace,
Lynne in NC
How elegant.
ReplyDeleteOh wow that is so beautiful
ReplyDeleteSimply lovely! It's a Tracy-Hepburn movie all wrapped up in a dress. Those were the days...
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, that is gorgeous! What a perfect Christmas dress...I wouldn't eat it because then it would be gone all in one bite...but at least if you wear it you can stretch out the lovliness for a while... =D
ReplyDeleteI can just see Rosemary Clooney or Vera-Ellen in White Christmas wearing that...
Anna,
ReplyDeleteIt's gorgeous. I have the same pattern also, but have not yet made one. I was curious about the shoulder pads. Did you put them in your gown? I was wondering what would happen if I skipped them?
Amy F
BEAUTIFUL!!!!
ReplyDeleteThis is the fabric which you used to bind the crewel pillow, isn't it? :)
ReplyDeleteWow! What a beauty!!! Any woman would be proud to wear this creation. I'm sure the color will look stunning on you as well.
ReplyDeleteWOW, and WOW again. It is so gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteAnna, I would love to know what fabric that is... Not only is that my favorite color, but I'm looking for the perfect fabric to make my daughter's first Christmas dress - and I don't want to do red or green... Would you mind passing along the name/color? Thanks!
ReplyDelete-bellaguinness
My colour, my shape - would you ever consider making another one?
ReplyDeleteI'm going through Chemo at the moment have to wear a lot of house coats that can be 'practical' and and am so frustrated because once upon a time I could have made one for myself.
I can make the button with a 4" square of the material as I'm sure you can - but what a happy match, magic.
Kindest
Margaret
STUNNING! This fabric is the color of our Christmas lights which outlined our home as a child in the 70's...or at least the color which I remember them being. For me, Christmas colors are red, green and THIS blue, and you are the only other person that I have ever known to agree with this!
ReplyDeleteThat is absolutely beautiful.. I wish I could sew half as well as you do. I haven't really gotten too serious about it until this year. My Halloween costumes barely made a passing grade. I will keep practicing. You are my inspiration!
ReplyDeletethat is the most beautiful dress ever...
ReplyDeleteWow! Amazing colour- how long did it take you to make it? Thanks.
ReplyDeleteThis is amazing! Do you fit these patterns or do you alter them? Magnificent!
