Project Details
Pattern: Vogue 8028 View A (with shortened sleeves)
Fabric: Suda Night Check from Tessuti Fabrics
Notions: 9 x 15mm buttons from stash, interfacing (two different weights for collar & facing)
This Vogue Easy pattern was very straightforward to sew. The only difficulty I had was cutting the fabric out. Trying to match the checks as well as the optical illusion this fabric gives caused quite a headache! I was concerned that it was starting to look like a school uniform but with the sash and a good lick of red lipstick this is avoided.
I highly recommend this pattern if you're after a good shirtdress.

That is a lovely casual dress, it really suits you.
ReplyDeleteGreat dress. I really like shirt dresses but am still unsure whether they'd suit me. Yours looks great though. I might have to take a closer look at this pattern. Nice accessories. Great renfrew yesterday too.
ReplyDeleteI love this! The fabric is fantastic, and really suits the dress. You look great.
ReplyDeleteI'm with Bernice on being unsure of shirt dresses for my body type, but I absolutely love your version. It looks amazing on your and the fabric is the perfect choice.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE this dress and it looks great on you.
ReplyDeleteHi Leith, I know this is an old make, but do you happen to remember what size you made? Cheers, Sarah
ReplyDeleteIt's a size 18. I could probably go down a size. Good luck!
