I can't give you the details on this fabric. Well, I do know it feels like a cotton voile, but I don't remember where I bought it, how much I paid for it, or my original intention of what to make with it.
It was a very timely pick for my first Stash Conquest Project due to the color and time of year. The colors are certainly not summer-y, yet the fabric is light-weight; perfect for a Fall transition in the Southeastern United States.
The pattern is the same one I used for the Vintage Introduction Dress, my new go-to sewing pattern. My first intention was to make the long sleeve version with the ruffles, but after noticing how lightweight the fabric was I decided to alter to a 3/4 length.
The full long sleeve version is definitely on my to-do list, maybe even in black, just like on the pattern envelope.
Thanks for stopping by!
this came out beautifully! I love the black in the middle. Totally makes the dress a THAT much more interesting and breaks up the busy pattern.
ReplyDeleteGreat dress! It's vintage, but modern too. It looks very well made. Good job!
ReplyDeleteThank you both so much!
ReplyDeleteI agree- vintage but still very modern. I love the fabric. I also really like the long sleeveless version on that pattern, too. So fun!
ReplyDeleteThat black middle totally makes the dress! I love the rich jewel-toned fabric!
ReplyDeleteOOOO!!! This is a wonderful transition dress! I can see it lasting well into cooler weather with the addition of some tights!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
