I love this. I really like how you laid out the fabric so that the pattern drapes, it really looks like a high-end boutique piece. SO NICE!!!!! :eusa_clap



I am a fabric and pattern addict. She who dies with the most of either (or is it both?) wins. I must plan on winning, yes, that's why I have so many.

Thank you kindly.The "secret" with this dress is that I really didn't have enough fabric to put the border print at the hem, as I originally intended.
So I seamed the selvedges together and that seam ended up at the left side front.
I like it when the fabric dictates design, but it usually makes for a tricky sewing project.

OK so not a vintage pattern or repro but I think it has a vintage-y feel to it. It Simplicity 2338. It is hard to find traditional vintage patterns to accommodate my ......awesome-ness??

I can't believe I haven't sewn anything since March. That is a long time for me. The blouse is the bodice Marian Martin 9197 that I extended to make a blouse. The skirt is the reissue Simplicity 3688.

I finished this quick skirt last night and wore it out in the woods today. And yes, those are Birkenstocks on my feet, but I am not ashamed

KittyAnneMalloo, gorgeous dress! I love that. You really do look awesome

Drappa, that skirt is perfect! well done Birkenstocks are probably the most comfy things ever... and you are German, after all

So nice to see that we've turned the corner from our winter woolens and flannel plaids! Beautiful dresses and skirts!

Kamikat Your blouse is so cute!

Great skirt. I'm making a circle skirt right now too as I'm in desperate need of summer clothes.

 

[Tatum]

Drappa, mind sharing what pattern you used for the skirt? I love it!

 

[Drappa]

Thanks ladies, and the pattern is by Style (View C):

I'm planning to make it in wool and/or tweed for next winter, as it's really quick (apart from the hemming by hand part...).

 

[Tatum]

Thank you Drappa! Now I know what to look for

Drappa- love the skirt and the belt.
Kamikat- You look adorable as always.

Made this for a Valentine's Day Hanger Dance in Austin but just now getting around to posting it. The hat and gloves are vintage, the shoes are new, and the dress I made from a vintage pattern.

I love those deep pleats; much more flattering than a regular gathered waist.
