So I solved the problem with the infamous birdy dress and to celebrate the fact that I'm literally drowning in dresses I made another one! It's a wrap dress from the same ol' Burda bodice and the fabric is a light polycotton with nice yellow tones. It's really grown on me since said fabric had been lying next to the shop's door for years without my looking at it until I dreamt of it a few weeks ago and went straight to buy it on the next day^^. I'm not completely sold on the design, I thought that since the bodice part is quite fitted with its slimming darts I would avoid the your-body's-quite-the-block-isn't-it effect but the fabric does bunch a little around my -ahem- waist :( On the bright side it has a totally cute 60's vibe and it's really pleasant to wear since it's so light.
The other dress I wanted to show you is a wax variation of my mum's favourite pattern: I only added a sweetheart detail on the front and a contrasting fabric belt. I think she was quite pleased and I must say I'm quite proud of the result :)
Have a nice week, see you!
Another day, another beautiful dress in the life of Cecili! Nicely done! I really love that you make dresses for your mum too, this latest one is great!
RépondreSupprimerThank you Marie, I'm glad you like them!
SupprimerI love the wrap dress and the fabric is so cute! I'm waiting for summer to wear a summer dress like this :p
RépondreSupprimerAnd, your mom must be so happy with the dress you made. How sweet of you.
Thanks Jeyco! I can't wait to see this summer dress you're talking about, it must be awesome!
SupprimerThe yellow dress is so fresh and sweet! It looks like a perfect summer dress. Your mom's dress is very cool too, I love a wax print!
SupprimerWell done! I recently got some wax print fabric from Tanzania (not that I was in Tanzania)to whip up into a dress. I bet your mum is ecstatic that you're sewing for her! Oh, an Easter visit to my mother's unearthed some of her lost trim too - being the excellent daughter I am, I took it off her hands so that it's not cluttering her linen cupboard .... the sacrifices I make!
