Dog jumper..... kinda...... (was destroyed in minutes) and baby booties.... which were adorable :)
So back to the dress...
The dress I decided to make was a Vogue V8723.. I decided to make this, because I loved the bottom of the dress and I had seen this extremely cute one on http://tessuti.blogspot.com.au/2012/03/pattern-review-vogue-8723-aka-forty.html
It stated it was "Very Easy" which I highly doubted..but still decided to give it a shot..
I decided to make the dress in a Mauve coloured linen, also the dress was going to be fully lined so I chose a grey coloured polyester acetate.
This dress had a lot of firsts, First dress, First piece with lining, First invisible zip, First Gathering and First darts!
I thought because the dress had so many firsts I would need one too!! I decided to dye my hair red, for something fun to do:)
.
The hardest thing I found about this dress was the gathering, as the linen and the lining were quite thick, and the stitches kept snapping.. very frustrating, but rewarding when it was finally completed....
Let me know what you think :)
