This is dress C from The Sweet Dress Book by Yoshiko Tsukiori. Oh so quick to cut out and sew, done in an evering, then hemmed the next day. How I hate hemming - it is just not fun, it's fiddly and it's boring. But must be done, I suppose.
Talking of hems - that looks wonky! It is just the way I am standing, honest.
This is an easy dress to wear it is light and layers well. I'm going to make it again and with a big pattern fabric, as used in the book. Sadly it does not seem to photograph well. I think that could be the pattern of the fabric, which is actually rather pretty flowers in a nut brown and black - perfect for Autumn.
Photographs come courtesy of a very, very bored seven year old boy. My four year old wants to take the pictures for the next post. So, there might be a lot of out-of-focus shoes and walls in that one!
Looks like a great autumn dress - layering is always good at this time of year!
ReplyDeleteLayering is definitely the way to go. It is so cold.
DeleteLovely dress! You must be pretty good to follow a pattern from one of the Japanese books! I've not entered that territory yet but they have some gorgeous makes. Look forward to seeing your next version! Kate x

Thank you, do give them a go. I've made a few from Japanese pattern books and they have all been straightforward and dare I say it... relatively easy. I'm only a beginner and I'm managing okay.
