I love a slip dress. So, when I saw this one by Sewing Masin Sicily Slip Dress, I had to jump on it.
What drew me to this pattern is that it's universally flattering on everyone I've seen wearing it.
I love the cowl neckline and the spaghetti straps. The drape was perfect without any sort of adjustment.
The dress is cut on the bias with a flared out hemline. I made a full seat adjustment of around two inches, so that the dress wouldn't hike up in the back.My fabric is a lovely poly crepe, so I created French seams.I finished the dress with a narrow hem. I love it! It's beautifully drafted, quick and easy to sew. I plan to make it again.
Love your dress Erica! I wondered if you could post a couple of photos of your pattern with the full seat adjustment. I would love to see how you did that in a pattern without a waist seam.
ReplyDeleteI didn't photo that. You just have to determine where the pattern will hit at the fullest point of your hip. Thanks.
DeleteLovely Erica, as always!
ReplyDeleteThank you Dara!
DeleteFabulous, I love it! I always shy away from bias cut clothing as I find it clings/drapes to curves l’d rather hide. Do you wear a slip underneath or don’t you have this issue?
ReplyDeleteThe clinging to the curves is kinda the point of wearing a bias cut dress!
DeleteIt's obviously still hot in Alabama and this is perfect for a sultry day or evening. I do love a good animal print and I really like this one. Have fun.
ReplyDeleteIt's cooling off now, but I plan to just wear it with my moto jacket! Thanks Nancy!
DeleteDid you lengthen it? Thanks (I'm 5'11)
