I have added another Diane von Furstenberg wrap dress to my collection, and I am not sorry about it!
And while I am not a huge fan of working with rayon/lycra knit fabrics, now that I have finished sewing the dress, I can enjoy wearing it, and forget about the aggravation as it slithers across the sewing table.
I know that it won't be everyone's cup of tea, but I will probably wear the dress with the v-neck facing the back most of the time. It seems like most people prefer the standard v-neck worn in the front, but I have a lot of v-neck dresses, so this makes for a nice change.
And the nice thing about a reversible dress is that I can always change my mind later on!
It has also become quite clear to me that I am a massive fan of the polka dot. Dress, blouse, shoes, purse - give me all of the polka dots!
And wrap dresses just might come in a close second.
The shorter length works great with the dotted fabric, but I do love a full length wrap dress. The only downside is the amount of yardage required.
I would also love to be able to find a cotton print jersey fabric or a rayon/cotton blend in a slightly heavier weight.
The original textiles that were used for these dresses are some of the most flattering and comfortable fabrics that I have ever come across. Why did they start adding spandex and lycra to everything?!
But even with all of my griping, this is a wonderful pattern.
It really doesn't get much easier than throwing on a wrap dress to look completely put together in no time at all. And no zipper or buttonholes to contend with is just the icing on the cake!
Fantastic! Now I want a polka dot blue dress.
ReplyDeleteYour dress turned out very nice. Those shoes are a perfect match.
