The weather has been ridiculously beautiful in the Bay
Area. Even though it felt a bit silly
making a cotton summer dress at this time of year, it turned out to be weather appropriate with the
addition of a lightweight cardigan. Who could have guessed?!
All in all, a very successful and “free” project (Spring cleaning at its best!). I even had a teal invisible zipper on hand that worked with the print .
. . weird, since I never seem to have a simple black zipper when I need one!
The flowers are blooming, the bees are buzzing, and I am
feeling the need to re-organize the sewing room. Although, the urge usually strikes late at
night . . . I wish I would feel motivated during the daylight hours. But I should probably finish a couple of in-progress garments first.
Dress: Made by me, Colette’s “Parfait”
Cardigan: Banana Republic

Necklace & Earrings: Farmer’s Market
Wearable muslins are fantastic. This whole outfit looks great on you
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Did you knit the cardigan?
ReplyDeleteLove it! After your last post I had a look at the pattern (I love the bust treatment) and the photos on their website are really uninspiring! I would never have bought it without seeing this version!!!

I really love the fabric you used here and the ribbon around the bottom looks so sweet! Also, I wouldn't call it a wearable muslin as the fit looks too good for that!
ReplyDeleteThis dress is absolutely adorable, and I would be proud if this were my final product, not just a muslin. I absolutely looove your take on patterns, and your blog in general.
