Well, colour you all shocked to see another incarnation of the Never-Ending Dress. Wouldn't it be funny if I sign up for every sew-along going and adapt this pattern for it? Next thing you know, I'll be signing up to an Overall Sew-along and throwing some legs on it.
A picture for those of you of the head persuasion. Nothing shocking and / or amusing is happening to my right, I promise. I'm just a little bit harrowed from sewing this blouse manic style on the deadline day. Too harrowed for make-up and hairbrushes. Let's see... changes from Never-ending Dress: it is not a dress (obviously), neckline raised a bit, straps shortened / narrowed a smidge, fabric has no stretch so ease added all over the place, and waistband given a curve at centre front under the bust. Some things have remained: Mega-darted bodice front (three below each breast, one to the side *sigh*), v-neck back bodice, smooshed waistband, and.....................
That's right, I zipped it all the way through this time! I'm hoping the metal zip tones down the OMGGirly print. But refrains from burning me when it's hot.
Spring Top Sew-along, forty minutes to spare :)
So cute for summer! But how did you get Maia to let you keep anything pink for yourself?

ReplyDeletesweet! again, LOVE the exposed zip
ReplyDeleteVery cute! Found you via the Spring Top flickr pool. I think my favorite part is the zipper that runs the length of the back.
ReplyDelete"Wouldn't it be funny if I sign up for every sew-along going and adapt this pattern for it?" Do it, Do it, Do it!!
ReplyDeleteTurned out very nice and I like the exposed zipper on the back. Are you going to wear this one more than once?
How are you planning on preventing that zip being unzipped at crucial moments by small people? It's lovely though, as always.
ReplyDeleteLove it, particularly the zip. I am even more jealous of your sewing prowess!
ReplyDeleteSuch gorgeous fabric. It's fab to be able to adjust patterns. x
ReplyDeleteToo fabulous for words! Just stunning - men and women alike will be falling over in the street.
