I’m enjoying sewing dresses again, I love wearing dresses when the weather is warm.
I recently bought some unknown fabric at Michael Levine’s loft, I’m pretty sure it’s a polyester georgette.
Fun little floral print.
A cute litle sheath with a cowl neck.
The fabric was a little fiddly to work with, so my invisible zipper isn’t so invisible. At least it matches the fabric. I was concerned that the fabric is just too sheer, solution? Self line, very pleased with the result, a cute little dress with no issue of being too sheer.
You almost can’t tell which is the inside of the dress. On the lining side, the zipper is much more exposed. I did have some issues sewing this together, the fabric is very slippery. Using trusty seam ripper I finally figured it out. Serger is still in the shop (grrrr, no I’m not happy with sewing machine repairmen these days). I used my pinking rotary cutter while cutting out the pattern pieces, so that helps some.
Oops, the darts should be hidden, I must have reversed the lining when I put it in. This is the inside of the dress so no one will see them. Lucky for me, it’s very hard to tell which is the right or wrong side of the fabric.
