trapeze dress done twice





with warm weather in mind, I made these 2 trapeze dresses today using New Look 6700 and two very bright, colourful poly cotton prints from my fabric pile. These dresses were completed in just one afternoon of sewing (from start to finish). Luckily I read the reviews of this pattern first before sewing, as there's a ridiculous amount of ease allowance with this pattern. I cut two dress sizes down without compromising the dress style. I'm still undecided about the drawstring ribbon and bow - reminds me a little bit of vintage nighties. Still it was an uncomplicated, fun sew!
