I made this dress a while ago and to be perfectly honest, I'm not crazy about it. It's the same pattern as my strawberry dress, but I made it from some satin animal print fabric.
I've had lots of great feedback about this dress - which I finished sewing it up, Rich seemed quite impressed with my sewing skills and other friends have commented on how great it looks, but I'm just not sure.
I guess maybe I feel a bit like the fabric is something a nightie should be made of - or that the way the cut looks isn't quite right. I've worn it as more of a skirt, with a cardi buttoned up over the top and liked it more then. But I'm just still not convinced!
I guess if I don't learn to love this dress it will be destined for the clothes swap pile, where it may find someone who will appreciate it more than I do.
I hope you're all having a super weekend so far xoxox

I love the cut of this dress but like it heaps more in the strawberry print. You do have some mad sewing skills! xx
ReplyDeleteI like it but it's gotta make you feel fab or off it goes:) maybe sexy it up a bit with some chunky black boots a choker and some fingerless gloves, just a thought.
ReplyDeletei really need to learn how to sew properly. i have less than zero patience, so it's usually a bad scene. <3
ReplyDeleteI'm amazingly impressed by anyone who can make clothing of any kind - so I'm in awe anyway, but maybe take it up a couple of inches and whack some heels on? But if not, someone's going to love it!
ReplyDeleteI'm so impressed by people who can sew. Maybe one day I will be one of those people!
ReplyDeleteMy poor sewing machine never gets any use well by me anyway. I like Lakota's suggestion of shortening it a little. xx
