I recently finished this dress I’ve been working on for a few weeks. It’s very easy to make, I just went through a phase of low motivation. Anyway, now that it’s done, I really like it. It’s New Look 6723. I made view B without the belt. There were quite a few changes I made to this dress. I decided I didn’t want to line the bodice of the dress. I didn’t feel like the fabric (cotton blend) really needed a lining and I was concerned that I would feel too hot in the summer. But, I did want the bottom (skirt) of the dress lined so that it wouldn’t be see-through. The pattern doesn’t call for this. I just made another skirt (almost as full) to use as lining. For that I used a white, light-weight cotton and attached it to the fabric at the waist. I also added in-seam pockets to the dress (again, not part of this pattern). Of course with not lining the bodice, I had to figure out how to finish off the edges. So, around the neck I used packaged binding that I had. To finish off the arm holes, I made bias strips from some excess fabric and sewed that on. All in all, I’m quite pleased with how things turned out. This is a really easy pattern to sew. By the way, I made this in a 16. The back of the dress fits much better than it looks in the picture. I have to work on my poses!
Your dress looks perfect for the hot summer weather. I like the idea of adding pockets.
Love love love this dress! It just screams "Summer fun!"
Very cute dress and you're really starting to show your creative side by adding these additions that were not a part of the pattern!
You're not alone when it comes to working on your poses, I'm just learning to get comfortable with the camera too! Great Job!
