The dress is absolutely beautiful! I think the size S is a perfect fit for you and you are so clever the way you have cut the fabric out to make the most of the exquisite embroidery. I love that you french seam everything. I made a quilted cushion cover and a shirt in sewing class at high school but other than that I only hand sew mending jobs such as re attaching buttons with no skill at all (ha ha). I have a lovely seamstress that I take my alteration and skilled mending jobs to. I would love to be able to sew and also make/adjust patterns. I have a pair of linen pants that are the ultimate fit/design that I would love to have a pattern made from as they are already 5+ years old and starting to look a little too worn. I would also find making my own clothes good as I am tall and would be able to make things the right length for me. Maybe a hobby for the future.
Thanks, Rach! I always find it stressful when I'm working with any type of pattern because if something isn't symmetrical, it can't not fixate on it 😅 It's so nice that you have a skilled seamstress that you take your garments to. I've never tried to make a pattern from another garment but If you ever want to make an easy pair of pants, I'd recommend the Pomona Pants pattern.
My mother sewed and my mother in law was a sought after seamstress/tailor for years. Their love of sewing and their talent did not trickle down to me, sadly. I think it would be a great outlet for creativity.
How nice to have seamstresses in the family! My grandmother sewed (mostly home stuff) and had one of those manual sewing machines that folded under so that it was a little table when she wasn't sewing - I wish I had it! If you even decide to have a go at it, let me know and I'll suggest a few patterns that are beginner-friendly ☺️
Thank you! My mom’s machine was the table top kind too. I have a machine and my sister in law is using it. I just didn’t enjoy sewing enough to keep it around.
I love this dress! The styling is so good....Since I've been around for a bit, I had forgotten about the gingham, but the green thrifted cloth one is just my favorite. This style seems to work in so many ways... This one is just beautiful!
Thanks so much, Annie! I'm excited to pull the green one down from storage very soon after neglecting it over the past few years. It's a really great pattern and I think it would make for a really nice top as well, which is something that I'd like to try.
