I LOVE it!!!
I'm very happy that it won't be graded by a Home Ec teacher because I don't think I'd get a very good grade. BUT...it fits, AND it's wearable...even out of the house! I'd call that a success.
Pattern: New Look 6557
Fabric: clearance cotton ($3/yard)
Total cost of fabric, pattern, zipper and supplies: less than $20
Not. Too. Bad.

ReplyDeleteThe dress is fabulous - I'd give you an A! and omg, you are going to be in Madison Thursday...and I have a choir concert for my daughter - dang. it! But peeking over at the shop's site made my day - I have never heard of it, I haven't been sewing much - so to see something so cool is so close - thanks! So sorry to miss you though!
ReplyDeleteYour dress turned out beautifully! It looks like a great fit on you, and I love the print. Thanks for sharing the pattern info. I'm hoping to make a skirt and a dress this summer, so I need to remember this one.

ReplyDeleteThat looks great!
ReplyDeleteIt is beautiful! I love how it turned out, and now you know you can do it!:)
ReplyDeleteGood job, and although you have 'dress' on your small project list, I'd say not exactly a small project! The first of many, I'm sure... now that you've got book signings to do. :-)
ReplyDeleteVery pretty dress!!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE YOUR DRESS! I'm going to put "sun dress" on my to-do list right now. The dresses in stores all too short, too long, and too expensive. Love you blog!
