As stated in a previous post, I have been sewing. This pattern from Vogue Patterns has been in my collection since 2007 and was just begging to be made up. I envisioned this dress in white and finally I was compelled to make it up this year.
The fabric is a cotton bamboo from Hancock's Fabrics from my stash. This fabric is so easy to sew and is so easy to wear and as equally easy to care for. This was a very straight forward pattern. The bodice was lined per the instructions but I believe the next time I will line the entire dress. I absolutely love this pattern. This dress has under bust darts and inverted pleats (front & back).
The fit was great. The neckline was raised 2.5 inches and the dress was lengthened by 3 inches. I guess you can tell I love longer dresses. When I added the crystal accessories, I transformed into a Barbie (LOL). Not my words, but an admirer!!! Don't you just love white. I wore this dress earlier in the week to kick start my summer.
If you have not tried Vogue 8382, I highly recommend it. It is an easy sew and very comfortable.
Well, until next time....
Very pretty!
