You will be SO proud of me. I totally resisted the urge to go all 60′s in your face, and style this like a retro flight attendant – because you know with this fabric button combo, we are constant danger of going in that direction hehehe.
Rambling aside, I think it turned out really well! I’m really glad i added the pocket topstitching, because even though it’s a tad puckery (eh you win some you lose some), I feel like it adds enough visual interest that i don’t feel bound to belt it all the time. You know?
Relevant posts from the Banksia Sewalong used to create this dress:
- Pattern alterations to turn the top pattern into a dress pattern
- Darts & prep work etc
- Faux placket
- Collar (standard)
- Sleeves (standard) or you could the flat method
- Specific dress instructions
So who else made a dress?? How did you go?!
Dress: Megan Nielsen, Banksia pattern altered (only a few more days left to get 10% off with the code BANKSIA)
Tights: We Love Colours (Navy)
Boots: Dolce Vita
I love the Banksia dress! Thanks for the sew along posts. I can’t wait to get started.
