Hooray! Summer dress

OK so she hated the crochet version but then I was a dress behind in the whole sisterly-fairness thing so I made this one. She has been asking for it for ages because she liked the frilly sleeves.

The fabric is from Textile Express. It is a flippy viscose perfect for the fluted sleeves with a rolled hem edge.


I asked her to do a pose so she did a ballet one because that was the only one she knew. Aww!


 The sleeves are fluted and are split nearly to the shoulder which you can't quite see. I used a the rolled hem foot on my machine for a quick even finish.


The dress is lined with a top stitched neckline. The button fastening is made from embroidery thread with hand stitched loops.

The equilibrium has been re-set. 

Sunshine please! Jo x
