Judy got this fabric as a gift from her friend Evie. It was a small piece and never could find a pattern for it. I got this off ebay and thought the mock turtleneck tank in the short length would work. The material is kinda like a cut velour knit. I cut it out inbetween the x-small and small but ended up taking it down to the x-small size. I added an 1 1/4" to waist length to adjust for height. and cut it three inches longer. It looked cute with the mock turtleneck but she just couldn't stand having something around her neck. So cute it lower and used self fabric to bind edge. She's not in love with it but she liked it. I think it was just a little to dressy for her college student/ cheerleading coach lifestyle. But at least we finally used the fabric Evie gifted Judy. This is a real easy quick pattern.
It looks wonderful on her. It's a perfect fit and the fabric looks gorgeous from here :)
ReplyDeleteHoly Cow - you got a great fit on this and perfect thing to do with this fabric. I think she'll be surprised that she's going to need a dress like this for college and the funny thing is that real life isn't that far out from college! Yikes - they grow up so quickly!
ReplyDeleteVery cute
Its very chic. I also commend you on persauding your daughter to wear a knee length dress. My daughters always want theirs so short.
ReplyDeleteShe looks very pretty. :)
ReplyDeleteI think it's very cute. Nice job. Anyway, I can't imagine wearing a XS!
ReplyDeleteLooks great on her.
ReplyDeleteThat dress is wonderful, I love the fabric and the mosel is perfect.
ReplyDeleteI plan use a kwik sew pattern to sew a pair of trousers for my husband. I've never used those patterns, but I've seen they have size+ which is great for DH. What do you think of this brand.
