Another dress!

I found this tutorial on Grosgrain, during free pattern month, and just knew I had to try it!  I love the hombre look that is so in right now, so I thought I'd try it in this dress!


Here is the inspiration dress. HERE  This is the called the Neapolitan Dress.

And....... here is my dress.  I did have to grade the pattern up a size, but other than that, it was all by the book!  I love the dress!



It did take me a couple hours to do it, had machine problems, though, so I'd imagine it wouldn't take quite that long next time.  It is a very detailed tute.

thanks for visiting just jayma.

    Darling dress! Thanks for your comment on my blog, I have been neglecting it lately, i have been sooo busy with projects that I haven't had the energy to post them yet! To answer your question about the fraying of the twill tape, I use fray check, and sometimes I cut them with pinking shears, I like the look of them frayed a little bit though :) Keep up the good work!

    What a cute dress! I love that peasant raglan sleeve pattern. In answer to your question on the ruffle pants....they are not made of knit, just regular quilting cotton. :)

    Hi Jayma, the photo with the bench from Paris is found on google search. If you click on the picture you will see where I found it. This post is from before I started to take all the photos myself. Merry Christmas!
