Description

I thought the girly shape combined with a plain stripe fabric would be nice.
It is a very comfortable dress, unless there is wind… then it flows up to my face which is very embarrassing :-)

Cotton white with light blue stripes

    I too like the lovely simplicity and cut of this dress. I was also comforted to know that I am not the only one who has “wind disasters”! Worn on a calm day, you look beautiful in it!

    Very nice! I have this magazine as well – trying to make the pants from there, with a lot of alterations… Your dress looks great!

      Thank you :-) I made the short pants from that magazine, which came out lovely and even survived rafting in the Zambizi in Africa,

    I sewed this dress for my daughter some times ago and I already saw a lot of versions all over the online sewing world – but your dress stands out from those. It is because of the white fabric which I like a lot! I am feeling to sew a vintage inspired full skirt dress mainly out of white fabric now. :-) Thanks!

      I saw your daughter’s dress on your profile, very cute. I like the square fabric as well

    The simplicity of the dress makes it look very romantic and elegant. I like it and the colour too. Is that your dog or it just hanging around? lol

      Lol. I have a sewing made (more like a shadow) too, but it’s a cat. :-)

      Thanks :-) It’s also very easy. I had the German version of the magazine and just followed the illustrated instructions.
