The Hundred Dresses: Day 39
another vogue 8460! I purchased this very joyful fabric in Japan back in 2007:
I forgot to point out yesterday the really stylish double darts in the bodice front — they’re one of my favorite features of this pattern, even though they are slightly challenging to sew:
Here’s the zipper — I’m very pleased with this one, as well:
And the back:
You might have discovered that this dress is longer than yesterday’s, because, well, it is. The first time I wore yesterday’s dress I was biking, and the dress was slightly too long and got caught in the back wheel between the wheel and the fender, and the accumulated city crud on my fender left an unsightly black smear. So I washed it and shortened it by about three inches, so that I wouldn’t worry about it getting caught on the bike. I think this one I will leave long, though, because it’s much more of a dinner-out dress than a “hop on my bike” dress.
What fabrics would you make this dress in?
