I've been searching through the Ottobre line drawing that Teri has put together at Evernote, and I just am not sure what style of dress to use with this fabric. Any suggestions? I'm thinking perhaps something with full gathered skirt. Hmm...just had a thought--maybe I'll search through my old vintage patterns and see if I can come up with something. I'll keep you posted.
In the meantime, below is a picture of the top I finished yesterday. This should have been an easy, quick to sew shirt, but due to lack of sewing time, it's taken about 6 days to finish. The pattern I used is Simplicity 3790, View E. I think I'm really going to like this top; it promises to be comfortable and roomy without looking like a maternity shirt.

Super Cute Top, Ruth!

Cute fabric for the dress but I don't have any suggestions, sorry. Your new top is fantastic.
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty sure I have that same blue and green flowered fabric except that the same not the same texture, if that makes sense. I love the top.
ReplyDeleteCute top. Sew on!
ReplyDeleteI love Ottobre, too - and I recently received the new "birthday party dress" pattern from Oliver + S - a little pricey - but sizes 4-8 and a great (pretty easy!) pattern with gorgeous box pleats - I have just cut out my 3 year old's Easter dress in that pattern.
ReplyDeleteLove the dotted swiss!
Can you use the dotted swiss for the petal dress? Otherwise I was thinking it would make a cute babydoll top.
ReplyDeleteI read your recommendations for this pattern some time ago and recently purchased it and have made one for myself. I was quite pleased with the results and hope to make at least one more soon. Thanks for the inspiration!
