Oh love it! Gorgeous! I have a dress like this and my friend is going to help me find a pattern so I can make one for everyday of the week. I wear it all day as my house wife dress but it is a green one. This pattern is FAB!
Clara I read this in the newspaper (true story) the other week and have been saving it for you: a Sydney family has two dogs and a cat, their names are Bach, Offenbach and Debussy.
Okay, I absolutely love that!! The polka dots go so well with the dress style, and it's a little bit of "modern meets vintage". Too cute, and it looks really great on her.
I used the pattern as is--if I recall it has a side bust dart and a vertical waist dart, right? Without knowing your fitting problem I can't advise, but I do know we didn't fit the dress very closely, using the tie belt to take up the extra ease.
FABULOUS!!!!!

ReplyDeleteIt's absolutely beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI love your blog!
ReplyDeleteI've tried to make this dress too but am having trouble with fitting the pattern. Did you perhaps eliminate a dart when you made the dress for Clara?
