Flamingo Dress is Completed!
I finished my dress! Despite the killing heat, I managed to make a awesome dress out of awesome fabric with flamingo prints :)
The real awesomeness of this dress is that it was quite easy to sew and looks perfect when finished. Although it was a moderately easy pattern, the dress looks really elegant when finished. I mean, as elegant as any dress covered up with flamingos would look :P
What’s on my sewing table…
So here’s my upcoming project. Another elegant summer dress pattern from 1950s. This time it’s Vogue’s vintage pattern no. 2961.
It’s a classic 1950s fashion dress with a tight bodice and a circle skirt. The original pattern was first published in 1953.
What do you think would be the best print for this pattern?… You’re right! It’s definitely a bunch of flamingos!
I always adore black and white fabrics and I’m crazy about such awesome prints. Added to that the good quality of cotton, this is the must sew fabric for me. So I decided to use this adorable fabric with this adorable vintage pattern.
It does look promising on my dummy. When I figure out the buttonhole detail in front of the dress, I can quickly finish it I guess.
It is a miracle to even move one finger in this heat… I hope I would not only have used their images, but also be able to live like them and spend my days sitting in water…
It’s too darn hottttt!!!!…..
Mad for MadMen dress :)
Sewing Steps for Butterick 6582 Pattern
The pattern instructions ask you to gather the shoulders. But since my fabric wasn’t some sheer cotton, I thought gathering the fabric on the shoulders would look “thick”. So, instead, I made 2 pleats. As I proceeded with the dress, I realized that it was the right move.
