Amazing Fit #2

After my success with Simplicity 2648 with my wearable muslin, I decided to have another go pretty much straight away. And no, still not an LBD, but a pretty go-to-a-wedding dress (congratulations Alanah and Luke!). I had some dark blue with white, pink and tangerine flowers stretch sateen in my stash - sounds weird but I love it - that was earmarked for a frock one day.

No significant mods beyond what I had already done with the muslin. Pattern placement was important as the flowers were distributed in bands across the fabric. I wanted to maximise the pretty flowers! I just managed to squeeze it all in. I decided to give the short sleeves with folded back cuff. I think it turned out really well - good fit, good pattern placement and very suitable for a warm January afternoon beach wedding.


Sorry, no wedding shots (of me!) yet.
