Simplicity 4055 Regency Gowns & toddler dress - Me Made May 2012 - Day 6
Every year my friend and I have a tradition of watching the 1995 BBC Pride and Prejudice together over a weekend. Last year I decided to have a bash at making us costumes, and my co-blogger Julia helped! I blogged about it here: threadcarefully.wordpress.com/2011/05/16/simplicity-costu...
I used Simplicity 4055 and some end-of-line cotton from Abakhan (hence the crazy orange colour). The fit of these dresses is far from perfect, but as we only wear them once a year we don't really care. I made a`matching dress for Little Tweedie with some of the leftovers. Miraculously she's managed to fit into the same dress a year later, and my friend who is 20 weeks pregnant also still managed to fit in this year!
I'm wearing my dress with floral print flat shoes which I LOVE!
