Okay, I look short and really squatty compared to this model.
I couldn’t be serious when I took these pictures. This dress is a woven with several pieces in the front that you can make different colors or leave the same. I wish I had gone with maybe one more print to make it a bit zanier. I was torn, though, because I wanted something that would easily rotate into my wardrobe.
There are four pieces to the front bodice and five pieces for the front of the skirt.
It fits really well. And just an FYI, I put no seam allowance on for the hem and I cut off four inches when I hemmed it. I’m 5’5”, so I’m not that short. This dress would have been at mid-calf!
I lightened the back and drew in the darts so you could actually see them.
The inside is lined with a JoAnn’s polyester of black flowers on a white background. I love fun linings.
I used the same invisible zipper installation that I always do.
See? I should have added some more color. Although the second one looks kind of like a bib. You get the idea though.
Fun dress to sew though. I may wear it tomorrow. I love the color blocking, but I also love that it’s so neutral. Maybe a belt would spice it up a bit but still let it be neutral.
