Remember back in the spring I made this dress? I really loved the fabric (cotton linen blend) but I hated the dress.
So it became a shirt, but not one I loved
Luckily I had fabric left over, so I combined it with some solid blue from my stash and Voila!
A cute summer dress with pockets.
Looks good from the back as well.
Looks even better with roses that match the print. I’m not sure about the seam where the bodice and skirt meet.
I guess it gives it a little more flare. And yes, those roses are real, not photoshop.
The interior collar stand is the solid blue, as is the under collar. I’m getting better at inserting the collar, still having a few issues, but the more practice the better. At least my sleeve caps look very professional these days and it’s easy for me to do.
I love the print! I also like it combined with the solid. I do have a blue skirt I could have worn with the other shirt, but this looks cuter, neater and it has pockets! As for the shirt, it’s in the donation pile. at least out of 3.5′ of fabric that I bought, I have something I really like.
