At very long last and after much pestering, the Skater Dress is going grown-up!
So far so good. Majestic neckband, check.
And here's the finished front view... (promise the sleeve isn't weird and bunchy, it's a photo-abberation)
And the finished side! Not too shabby for a first attempt, no? Apologies for the picture quality, these are all filched from Instagram, where I reveal all top-secretness first because I am in love with it.
I'd better lay off the choccie if I want to make one, it doesn't look like it'll hide a wobbly tummy too well lol!
ReplyDeleteIgnore the last, I've got Bridget Jones style pants!
DeleteNot necessary! Where the waistline hits and with the curve of the skirt tummy issues are skimmed over. Ask me how I know :)
DeleteDefinitely on my to-do list when it comes out! My daughter loves hers:) My version would just be longer with a higher neckline and underwear to squeeze it all in.. lol.
ReplyDeleteLOVE it! Can't wait to have my own. You can have me test it for curvy women with big boobs instead of skinny women with big boobs.
ReplyDeleteLooking good, it has got a really smooth finish. That must be a brilliant bra you are wearing, mine would look all bumpy - and I am not sure if I mean my actual boobs or the state of my bra collection!!! Jo x

It's my favourite bra that I love to death, a Freya Jolie.
DeleteOooh how exciting!
ReplyDeleteYou look great! The dress looks great!! Darnit - I guess I haven't been on Instagram today - I missed all the fun!
ReplyDeleteplease, pretty please include a 3/4 length sleeve (since I'll just have to take your word on the whole "hiding of the belly" *skeptical over here) p.s. you are a knock out!
ReplyDeleteIt'll have sleeveless, short sleeve, 3/4, and long!
Deleteoooh you have made my old lady flabby arms soo happy. God bless ya.
DeleteOMG - this is so awesome!
ReplyDeleteWonderful dress and made so professional! You look great in it.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait for the pattern! Will it have a sleeveless version, too?
ReplyDeleteYes, ma'am! Made one today to test.
DeleteLooks lovely. I've had some jersey sitting in my stash for just this dress.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, where do you get your ribbing from? I couldn't find any in your shop - do you have a secret supplier?
I normally have ribbing in the shop but I've been on the hunt for a new supplier with a bigger colour range for aaaaaages and I think I've found one. Hopefully back soon with lots of colours.
DeleteYou have got such an incredible body!!! I Adore it!!! Would make a million if them! Xoxoxooo. It's perfect just the way it is!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteOoh are you going to release it for sale? I love this shape and it's what I've been dreaming about for summer. I was going to draft it myself, but I'm not above cheating and buying the pattern :)
ReplyDeleteHope so!
DeleteI could try and make it work on my jelly-consistency self as a bathing suit cover up so I might give it a go. Looking forward to it (or not)

You're too hard in yourself!
DeleteThis is awesome! You look fabulous in it and that is one perfect and beautiful neckline.
ReplyDeleteI would love this dress! Love it. Can't wait for the pattern to come out! :)
ReplyDeleteBeing a teenager and the owner of many skater skirts & dresses, I have to say this is pretty cute, I'd wear it, probably shortened a bit though. :)
ReplyDeleteAre you hooked on the skater style now? I love how the dresses are so comfy and figure flattering on everyone.
