I'm not sure why I never attempted to make this dress, given how much I love every version of it I've seen - probably something to do with needing to make a thorough muslin. Once I've got the new book out of my system I'll definitely try this one outAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6283432893182314840.post-89571804562648326172014-05-27T17:10:27.141-07:002014-05-27T17:10:27.141-07:00A knockout look!

I was ok with the gussets... at first it was a little strange, but then I realized they are just like welt pockets, which I did in a craftsy class... I think it was on of Gertie's actually. The whole class wasn't that good (they have since taken it off), but the welt pocket lesson was actually really good.Cheriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10659088364165367101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6283432893182314840.post-62645239493710348272014-04-06T17:26:24.780-07:002014-04-06T17:26:24.780-07:00It wasn't as difficult as I thought that it wo...It wasn't as difficult as I thought that it would be. Just pay close attention to your own measurements. I had to combine a smaller size for the top and and a bigger size for the bottom... because of the bedunk a dunk situation I have going on.<br />I love the dress you made!

With flats, a brooch and "hair-up-do classico" you can look demure, professional and a bit dangerous all at the same time ... and when has that ever been a disadvantage ;)Fru Matthiesen vil ha´merehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09113077565594560140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6283432893182314840.post-36926042963954085422013-09-08T23:44:47.117-07:002013-09-08T23:44:47.117-07:00Definitely a "Look at me" dress in the b...Definitely a "Look at me" dress in the best way possible, you look amazing in it!!!!

Foundation garments or not, you don't have much to worry about in the back-department ;)<br /><br />I agree that it might be a bit show-stopping for office wear, but imo it might just be the color?
