I've made view A:
I don't think she really ever (willingly) wore the view B.
The seersucker Jump Rope view A was worn until it turned into an indecent mini-skirt. I thought it was time for another.
I used some Hello Petal by Aneela Hoey (shop link). I really like her teeny flower illustrations. I made this over a couple of days - this dress isn't really one to rush through. I love the placket. Seriously. It makes you look like you really know what you're doing.
This is one of the patterns from that only went to a size 3, so I had to buy the bigger size. This is a size 4, with 5 length.
I really love it. Julia and I went to the beach for a nice long walk this late afternoon, and when we got back, she agreed to do some modeling. The light was really funky as it was a kind of weird overcast evening. Nonetheless, I (of course) have a bunch of photos to share....
I hope she loves this one as much as she loved the seersucker one.....only time will tell...but, I do have some green seersucker in my stash that I could use to make another.
It is beautiful. I really want to try view A before my girl out grows the pattern.
ReplyDeletevery nice! That fabric is perfect for this dress!
ReplyDeleteWe've not made this one yet.....used it to do a 'flipped coat', but not sewn 'as is'. It's been on our list to make waaaaaaay tooooooo loooonnnnnnggggg {the fabric is even picked out, ready, and waiting on us!}.
ReplyDeleteLove your versions of it....and I hope she loves it as much as the seersucker one {based on her expressions, the outlook looks promising :)}!
Such a lovely new dress Janice. I adore this pattern too and must make another before the size three is too small. I'm always on the hunt for the paper pattern in a larger size on some dusty shop shelf somewhere....
ReplyDeleteI love this pattern! And all of your versions are so cute!
ReplyDeleteI've also made view A and view B, and my girl also choose view A more often (she did however wore view B quite a lot).
The main issue with this pattern is that it really needs time (there's quite a few details involved and one shouldn't rush) and I tend to favor "fast" projects. Yet, I can't help but marvel with every version of this dress - it's so pretty!
