So this will be my last garment for summer. It is M5378 View A. I love this dress so much that I actually wore it out the same day.
I made this out of a blue glazed cotton that I bought once I saw a young woman on the street wearing a similiar dress. The only modification I made was to cut out a size 14 and did a full bust adjustment. If I had to make the dress over I would decrease the shoulder seam length. I felt like it was a little too wide in the chest.
I'm so ready for fall sewing and I've been getting so inspired by all the beautiful garments on the net and the Septemeber issues of my fav magazine. The one thing I want to make is the new blouse and highwaisted pencil skirt look that is actually a dress. I found some beautiful gold and black floral print satin charmeuse and some black basketweave look bottom weight fabric. I was inspired by this dress:
Well, off to do some more sewing!
