Japanese inspired Dress ๐บ
This is a pattern I have tried a while ago, but wanted to give it a new try. I love colorful fabric and found this in a local store in my home town. It's a sweatshirt fabric and I have used it together with black courtelle jersey that is quite steady. And it became my Birthday Dress!๐งก It's a crazy fabric, but that's what I like ๐ I had to cut the neck band in a double layer, and one with vliseline as well. I stitched the invisible zipper in place before I added the neck-band, but then I had to use hooks at the top of the back neck-band. After I stitched the neck-band in place, I could stitch the gathered front to the side panel. I'm ready for celebrating! ๐ The sleeves are 3/4 long and a bit wide, but they are great. The dress has a split at the left side in front, and that makes it easier to move :) I have used 2 "diamond" hooks on top of the zipper. BurdaStyle #127 09/2013
