linen dress
spring/summer, casual, loose fitting, brown linen dress with pockets and a neckline detail. i'm happy wearing it. today i teamed it with grey skinny jeans and a khaki green v neck jumper, fun and all ok
it's a pattern i've made before www.youtube.com/watch?v=iDFRlF_yEtA but with changes
1. the original round neck altered to have a front v neck opening detail
2. each seam has a 'turn and edge' finish www.youtube.com/watch?v=RWaI7YUX8jk
the sides of each seam were folded under and machined rather than leaving edged with zig zag stitching. neater, easier for ironing and washing. ok for a light to medium weight fabric
3. bodice longer
4. skirt length longer
hong kong finish to the neckline
a strip of the same brown linen fabric cut on the bias was attached (instructions shown on the dress/top video)
the colour of the brown dress is much deeper than shown in the photo
3 metres brown linen £7 per metre width 1m 50cm (some leftover for another project)
next dress to be made is a casual loose fitting floral viscose, fabric showing in the centre foreground
Top and Dress
(i'm using this dress pattern for my spring/summer dress)
