  This dress is stunning! I absolutely love the tucks on the shoulder. Fantastic work, it looks very professional!

  Love the top of the dress – the waistline, the sleeves (which you did amazingly!!!) and the bow. The fit of the dress on you is great too!!!

    hehe fancy that! This dress started off as an exact knock-off of the first dress in that Luella collection. But the style didn’t suit me so I changed it. The pockets, sleeves and waistline are the same!

    Thanks for following my blog!

    I visited your blog: Your ‘golden rule of sewing’ is just what I think: I wear my dresses every day in the office and I like it. :-)

  Very lovely! The details are exquisite. I agree about the fabric — when I saw the first picture, I thought “This is great but Joan would wear it in wool or heavier cotton.” Heh.

    Thanks so much! Yeah I wanted to make it in wool, but I really wanted a pastel colour and I could only find navy, grey and black wool. Borriinnggg! Anyway, I’m not too fussed about it, I think the linen gives it a more casual look, but definitely if I make it again I’ll use a different fabric.

    Thanks, Zenica. Of course you can wear something like this! If you can sew, you can pretty much wear whatever you like.
