Description: Misses bias cut dress
I was inspired to do this dress by all of the baby doll and trapeze shapes that were on the RTW runway for Spring '07. Also, I saw that my blogging buddy Chanel over at Hip Candy had refashioned a black mini and I knew that I had to have one too.
I had had this pattern in my stash for months, but it was something about it that just didn't 'pop' for me. After I saw an array of babydolls hit the runway, I decided that this pattern had potential. I did a few modifications to get the look that I wanted.
With the fabric I chose, it was quite flimsy and transparent, so I underlined it with polyester interlock so I wouldn't have to be bothered with wearing a slip.I trimmed the front and back neckband by an inch off of the top so that I could achieve more of a scooped neck which is much more flattering (on me) than the original.Instead of using the suggested gathers in the center, I decided to use pleats instead... again more flattering on me.I cut the dress in a size 14 and gradually brought it out to a size 18, below the waist for more of an a-line cut.I cut the bottom off 4 inches so that it would be an actual mini-dress.This is a very simple and easy to complete pattern... it took a whole 2 hours to finish! I give this one "the thumbs up"!

This came together pretty easy using some vintage fabric I scored at a garage sale or off craig's list, I can't remember which. The only bummer was slicing the sleeve while I was trimming the seam! At least it's in the back and the pattern is so busy you don't notice.
I used a linen/rayon blend to make up this skirt. One of the easier patterns I've used - a quick and simple project!
