I made this dress (view 3 to be exact), quite a few weeks ago, but have been wearing it so much I haven’t had time to share it with you!
Here it is:
A close up of the little pockets on the front:
The neckline is square, with a pointed seam running under the bust:
I wanted this dress to be really quick to make, so I left out lining and kept hand stitching to a minimum. I used a combination of French seams on the center front and back, and run and fell seams at the sides:
The only place I used hand sewing was to insert the zip, and to finish the neck facing and the hem, which I faced with a section of light poly-cotton cut to the shape of the skirt hem:
And that’s that! Take a look at my blog to see a few more pictures
Lovely! Am pea green over your beautiful seams, as mine never look so even and professional. Any special secret you’d care to share?
No real secret, just lots of trimming and pressing before I sew the seams.
Very pretty.
You wear it very well, good job! Made this one several times back in the 70’s, wore them to high school. Great pattern.
Very Cute! Love the red!
I have this pattern waiting for the right fabric to come along, so thrilled to see your lovely version! Hadn’t thought of twill.
