Inspired by this dress, I decided to keep my version super simple this time.
I left off the pockets, notches and even the contrasting band - lengthening the body of the dress instead. Sometimes the simplest things in life are the very best, aren't they?
The fabric is Coreopsis Sugar from Anna Maria Horner's Loulouthi line (yes, again!). I paired it with some grey kona cotton. A fabric covered button seemed just right for the closure.
I have a feeling I'll be making this dress again... maybe times three.
I love the fabrics you used. The dress is beautiful! Stop by and link it up to Make It Wear It, a weekly blog link up for all things made to be worn, at TheTrainToCrazy.com

ReplyDeleteThe dress is beautiful! I love teh use of just two fabrics here. So simple. Like something you'd expect to see in the Pacific Islands (perhaps in a Gaugin painting!).
ReplyDeleteit's really lovely! i like how you left off the bottom band. simple is the way to go!
ReplyDeleteI agree, I actually think the dress is much more adorable without the notches and pockets. Now, how do I resize that pattern for me? ;)
ReplyDeleteWonderful as always Rachel!
This is so cute! I love the fabric you used!
ReplyDeleteOH! just clicked over from probably actually - this is beautiful! i love that you left off the band, too. i'll do that next time (just made view B today in shot cotton, also inspired by gail).
