After my Ceil Chapman adventure in dressmaking, I knew that
I needed a quick and easy project, if only to assure myself that I do not need
an entire month to sew one dress!
This dress was an exploration in going against type. The fabric is a stylized leopard print, and
the pattern is contemporary - what in the world was I thinking?! I blame patternreview.com. I would never have thought to purchase Vogue
1228 had I not seen all of the cute finished projects posted to the site.
I am quite pleased with the finished product. The dress is very easy to wear (I added 1" to the length for a bit more coverage), and while it
might not be the most flattering of styles on my body, I don’t care. I am just going to pretend it is a costume in
the style of 2011 – how about that!
It was super easy to make, and has restored my faith in the
quick weekend project, so all in all, I would say the dress is a success.
