Not a very good picture. Cranky husband! I made this about one month ago, but blogging is hard for me. I'm trying to perfect it but I am not in to technology.I always have trouble with Vogue sleeves! Too much easy in the cap, and well they just don't fit me well . I love Vogue patterns, I just tear my hair out when I am dong the sleeves. {and I'm trying to grow out my hair!}
This is the back view. I underlined the whole dress in brown ambiance, and the armholes are bound with bias brown chiffon strips that matched pretty darn good. I hardly ever use my serger anymore. It needs to be serviced and well I just like using hong kong finishes. So fun!!
Close up view of the fabric. I have had it in my stash for about three years. It is 100% wool in a burgandy and cream pattern, sorry hard to see. I don't really care for the fabric. but you know I had it and I can't let any fabric go to waste. I would sew this again , maybe in a great double knit.
Beautiful dress, it looks fantastic on you.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty dress!
ReplyDeleteLooks great! Can I recommend a tripod, then you don't have to rely on your husband, cranky or otherwise! ;)
ReplyDeleteGreat looking dress. The fit is nice. The tripod is the way to go.
ReplyDeleteYou have achieved a great fit. I also like the cuffed sleeves.
ReplyDeleteYour dress is very pretty, and the fit is perfect. I reduce sleeve cap ease on most every pattern, regardless of the brand. I don't know why pattern makers think there has to be so much ease. It's a mystery. Husband shouldn't be cranky, having such a pretty wife!
ReplyDeleteWonderful dress to start off the fall season!
ReplyDeleteYou always get a perfect fit for your garments. This dress looks beautiful on you.
