Fabric: Stylized Floral Jersey from Gorgeous Fabrics bought in 2008 @ $10/yd and black jersey from 2008
Other: black fusible tricot interfacing for the neck and midriff bands @ $3/yd
Mods: no zipper
Total Cost: approx. $27.00
Total Cost: approx. $27.00
I bought this fabric, which looks like there are still a couple of yards left, with the intention of using this pattern over two years ago. It's now finally complete.
Cennetta from The Mahogany Stylist also used this fabric to make this dress. You can see what this dress would look like without the contrasting neck and midriff bands.
Overall, it's a easy knit dress. The fusible tricot had enough stretch in it that I didn't need the zipper in the back. It's very comfortable and very slimming. I did slipstitch the facings by hand, which was nice and relaxing to do with wine and friends. The only thing that I don't like about this is dress is that it's VERY LOW cut but that can be fixed with a camisole.

What a great use of such a bold print. Nice dress!
Love this print!
Nice, very nice!
the fabric is beautiful, I always love to see a black and white print. I'm happy it worked out for you
Lovely! I have this pattern and love the lines. I was worried about that neckline, but I don't think there is anything to do about it, as I think raising it would ruin the look of the dress. Ah well. Thank heavens for camis! Do we get to see it on you?
Gorgeous dress in such a beautiful print!
This looks so nice! I want to see what it looks like on :-)
Geez, you always pick the best prints! This turned out really lovely ;)
