I love making and wearing shirt dresses.. This time I wanted
to try a pattern I haven’t used before.. In Burda issue 09/2013 there are three
shirt pattern variations which I liked (#115, 116 and 117).. I combined two
patterns for making my dress.. Basically I used #117 for the bodice.. I wanted
my dress to be fit at the waistline, and that pattern has waist darts along with bust darts.. I only took collar shape from shirt #115.. When I picked the
fabric for my dress, I decided to make ¾ sleeves.. This shirt has hidden button
closure.. It turned out very easy to make.. Only thing that I have to remember
for next time is first to sew skirt to the bodice, and then to make button
closure.. I was anxious to see how the closure will look, and first I sew the
closure only at the bodice.. Unpicking the seams was not complicated and
everything still looks neat.. Only the first button I left visible, cute red
heart-shaped button.. The rest of the buttons are simple round red ones..
I used rayon fabric for my button-down dress.. As I
mentioned a dozen times before, it’s my favorite fabric for sewing and
wearing.. This flower print fabric was waiting in my stash for years and I love
the outcome.. Maybe it would look better if I made it with visible buttons and
shorter sleeves.. All in all it’s a great dress for spring/summer weather here
in Belgrade..

ReplyDeleteI like how clean the hidden buttons looks with the one button showing at the top. I think it shows off the lovely flower print well.
ReplyDeleteWow that's a great design, looks "cosmic". Those shoes are nice as well.
