yellow bird dress

Size_chart

Description

here's a simple little tunic dress i whipped up in just a couple hours. i used Built By Wendy 3964, but i wanted it to be a quick and easy project so i didn't bother with the inset nor the sleeves. instead of sleeves, i finished the armholes with some ready-made bias tape with a contrasting floral pattern. i'm quite happy with it!

Materials

main fabric is a woven cotton with some stretch ("bird seed" by alexander henry fabrics)

    Great dress! I wish I could whip up a dress in a couple hours! It's great you got your hands on the birdseed fabric. I think it's one of the best prints ever!

    Is back and sewing!

    I also think the fabric is fantastic, and that the belt is great. and the contrasting bias trim is unexpected but fresh. I like it a lot!

    I absolutely love that, especially the print of the fabric and the bias tape around the armhole. I think the belt looks great with it, but I imagine it looks just as good without it! Well done! You've given me some ideas now. I am normally reluctant to try mixing fabrics like you've done because I worry it'll not work, but just looking at some of your creations, I can see it is possible to do! :)

    Love it! I'm really craving cute dresses at the moment but as i'm breastfeeding they're too impractical for me to wear. :(
