dress: self-made // tights: Modcloth // shoes: Nine West (thrifted) // scarf: French flea market
Birthday dress was a success! It’s slightly difficult to type though because my fingers are frozen. Cannot wait for warmer weather!
I used this pattern along with a self-drafted circle skirt. I was going to include the sleeve caps but a combination of having nearly run out of time and deciding it looked better without them led to my leaving them off.
For the skirt, I folded a square piece of fabric over halfwise twice, and then measured a 10″ curve at the waistline. My waistline is 24″ so I wanted the skirt to be about 1.5″ wider than my actual waist so there would be pleating. Then I measured from the curve down to various points about 20″ (skirt length + hem) and cut both curves so that I was left with a large floppy donut shaped piece.
Sorry if that’s absolutely incomprehensible. I’m terrible at explaining things.
And yes, I totally caved and dyed my hair. Eek!
You look adorable:)
:]
Love this! I’ve been eye banging this pattern for a while. The neckline is great. Hope you had a wonderful day!
Bahaha eye-banging. Thanks, I recommend it!
So pretty ! I was considering this pattern and now I really want to make it !
You should! I really like how it turned out! Slightly annoying that it doesn’t come with seam allowances though.
Beautiful x
