My Roland Mouret Galaxy Dress

Description

This is my Roland Mouret Galaxy Dress. I am so pleased with this dress, it couldn't have turn out better. I have always loved the Galaxy dress but could never afford to buy one, I still can't believe I have managed to make it!!! It has taken me just over a day to make and there was lots of hand sewing involved but i got there, it was rather big when i made it so i took it in and i may have took it in a little too much, i will just have to not eat when i'm wearing it. I bought this pattern from the Vogue website when they had a sale a few weeks ago, it was only $5!!!! Pattern number V8280.

Materials

Navy pinstripe cotton

Wow, there really is no stopping you now. I just looked at your homepage and couldn't believe you've only been sewing such a short time. Great job!

Cool! I love this pattern. It is kind of on my long distance sewing plan. You have done great job!

way too busy for loads of sewing

Looks great! I've loved this pattern since I saw it, but I've never been quite sure it would work with my bony cleavage, so I couldn't justify buying it at about 12 euros ;) but it looks great on you and I can hardly believe you made it so quick.

is learning to crochet and lovin it

WOW!!! Thankyou all so much for your lovely comments, i wore this dress today at work and i felt fab in it! I think everyone should make one!!!! i'm thinking of making another one but without the sleeves, so watch this space!! Jelly bean - I know i can't believe it either, i have only been sewing since christmas and i am self taught, i can see the improvement every time i make something, some things it takes me a while to figure out, but i get there in the end.
