Description

We are still not completely sure about the colour of the dress… but it sure turned out beautiful!
This is another one of the dresses I made for graduation, this time for my lovely friend Moa.
The pattern is Vogue 1014, but I got rid of the sleeves and changed the neckline, because in the original we thought it looked to “old” for her.
This dress was actually pretty tricky to fit in the end, because the size we had chosen according to the information on the pattern was way to big. Moa is really petite and I had to take in most of the seems which wasn’t easy with the seems running all around the dress. So don’t trust the sizes on this pattern! ;-)

Soon you can find all the graduation dresses I made on my blog

Material Notes

to different jerseys, one a bit more shiny than the other (is it purple? is it blue? You tell me...) and black lining fabric

      Yes, in the pictures you can only see the blue… in real life it also looks purple sometimes :)

    I like this dress! The details makes it so beautifull! Somehow it looks like a normal dress, until you take a good look…. Georgious!!!!
