Hello fellow bloggers! I have started to sew again and made two dresses during the month of September! The first dress has been reviewed by so many that I had could not resist it any longer. Like a kid in the candy store, I pulled out Vogue Pattern # V1224, you know that Tracy Reese. This dress is beautiful. The fabric is a knit purchased at Joanne Fabrics and this is a keeper!!!
After reading the reviews, a few alterations to the pattern was done beforehand. I lengthened the bodice 2.5 inches, the skirt about 6 inches. I can't add anything else to the comments this dress is a must-try and is without a doubt the favorite pattern of 2011. BTW, I did make a self-fabric belt as an option when wearing this dress. Here are pics: Dress #1 (Front/Back Views)---
Dress #2 is Butterick 5652. Love the fabric which is a knit purchased from Hancock Fabrics. Love this dress, cut a size small and should have cut XS. Too much fabric for my frame. Nothing lost, I gave it to my friend. Pics of her wearing it coming soon. This dress was a fast and easy sew!
