I should know better than to choose linen by now. It wrinkles like the dickens, which to me cancels out all moisture-wicking properties. I'm hoping it's just projecting 'irreverently rumpled,' though.
In other news, I love this dress! I read that it tends to run short, so I added an inch-and-a-half to the bodice pieces, and it fits really well! I also made the matching jacket, which I also really like. It's fitted enough to look good unbelted, but not tight at all!
I've also made Simplicity 3823. It's some kind of heavy drapery fabric. I sincerely have no idea what it's made of.
It's kind of grosgrain-ish, but I'm not so sure grosgrain comes in actual fabric form. There is absolutely no stretch. I added pretty pink piping to the midriff and around the bottom of the skirt. This is the second dress I've made from this pattern, the first was pre-blog, pre-sewing skills, and long gone.Vanity shot (gosh, I love poladroid):
In addition to the halter, I had time to make one more dress this vacation, but it's not navy blue, so it will be getting its own post later.

So cute! Both of your new navy dresses are adorable. The white bodice band on your version of 2250 is absolutely inspired - such a great detail.
ReplyDeleteLove them both! :D
It's black. Close enough. And 'begrudgingly granted'? I got on the gross bed just to give you some artistic shots. Who studied photography in this family, huh? Who?
ReplyDeleteOh, LOVE this dress! I think the color combination is so cute and it fits great. :)
