What I Wore / Travel: 60th Birthday Party in Florida
Pattern Review (M6838)
Pattern Description: Dresses have princess seams, close-fitting, underlined, lined, boned bodice and semi-fitted skirt variations, and invisible back zipper. Dresses also have circular skirt cut on crosswise grain.
Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it? I think so.
Were the instructions easy to follow? Yes, it was.
What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? I like that the pattern gives you the freedom to create your own design. There are 3 bodice variations, a belt, and also 3 variations of skirts.
Fabric Used: Red Satin from Joann's Fabric Store and Guipure Lace / Corded Lace
Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: I didn't make any major changes, I just added the lace my own way because I wanted the scalloped / decorative edges to show. I joined the lace and dress at the zipper seam and tacked it at the side and princess seams.
Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? Definitely, the dress is perfect for wedding (guest) and other formal events, can't wait to make it again in a different style.

ReplyDeleteThank you, Faye!
DeleteSimply beautiful (you *and* the dress;) I looove the mermaid effect! I admit I didn't give this pattern much consideration because I'm not a huge fan of the high/low version on the envelope, but I really like the variation you chose:) Great colour & the lace overlay really works! Super flattering style on you:)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Rikki! I'm not a fan of the high/version either but I love the other version and the fact that you can make so many different styles with this pattern.
DeleteStunning, love the lace overlay.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Robin!
