I finished my
swing dress. I really love how it turned out.
I can't wait until it is warm enough to wear this for real! This is my first spring dress this year. Don't you love the fabric? It has a nice weight to it too. Not bad for $1.99/yard!
It went together very smoothly and I have no problems to report. I really love the gored skirt especially
Here it is from the back.
The vintage brooch I am wearing in the center front. I have had this for awhile but haven't worn it yet. I don't know why because it is beautiful!
I did my hair up in victory rolls with a french twist in the back for the pictures.
Now on to the next project as a wait to wear the dress. Maybe I can get away with wearing it with a blazer or cardigan. Sunday is the official start of spring after all. I just wish the weather would get that memo!
Very pretty! I'm doing the sew-along too (I just happened to see your dress on Sew Retro), but I've yet to cut into the fashion fabric. I love your print with the contrast sash (and that brooch is beautiful!). Great hair do and shoes too :) And how cool that you are a costume designer!
ReplyDeleteThat dress is gorgeous! I love the fabric! :)
ReplyDeleteWow! Found your blog via Sew Retro, lovely stuff you have here! The dress is so lovely, the fabric, the cut, everything, and I just love the color combination and the green waist piece. I just might have to borrow that idea...:)

It's gorgeous! That fabric is amazing, what a bargain!
ReplyDeleteThe fabric is gorgeous, and I love the idea of the contrasting midriff piece. Very sweat dress!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! I love your version.
ReplyDeleteLove that you did the midriff piece in a different fabric, kind of makes a belt unecessary!
ReplyDeleteHow lovely! I love the fabric you used.
ReplyDeleteThe fabric you chose is very pretty, and I love your brooch! Great job on the victory rolls, too. :)
ReplyDeleteVery pretty. I love seeing everyone's fabric choices and the finished dress. Looks very pretty on you.
ReplyDeleteYour dress turned out lovely! I like the 3/4 sleeves too.
