Project #15 - red summer dress

Posted by Alexandra at Studio Alexandra

Remember how I said that I was going to use that Burda WOF dress pattern again?

I cut the fabric on Friday, then spent part of yesterday and today to make this:





The fabric is the same linen/rayon or linen/cotton I'd used for this tunic. It's very easy to sew although I think it may wrinkle more than the other dress fabric. Oh well.

And here's how it looks with the belt from the aubergine dress. Gives it a different look, doesn't it?

Very cute!!!!

Mary Beth said...

Nice fit! The sleeves and neckline look just right for summer, not too tight, not too loose

Darlene said...

Gorgeous, simply gorgeous. I like the red better than the aubergine and I love it with the hat.

Great dress in red as well(although aubergine is my pick for colour, just to disagree with Darlene!) I love it with the aubergine belt. Do you have some warm weather for your summer dresses yet?

I just spent an afternoon looking at dresses at Bloomingdales and this dress reminds me of some of the nicer ones I saw. Great job.
