Sweet Dress Book: Dress C

A quick dress with lovely pleats.


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!

  1. Looks like a great autumn dress - layering is always good at this time of year!

    1. Layering is definitely the way to go. It is so cold.

  2. Lovely 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

    1. 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.
