I have had this pattern for years, and have been waiting for the perfect fabric.
Well, I finally went with "good enough." I was thinking of making it with the red and blue checked fabric, but I decided that with the curvy pattern pieces, this would work better with a less geometric print.
And I think I was right, because looking at this dress with the flowered print, I can't even see where the seams are.
The pattern pieces fit together perfectly, and they fit the doll perfectly as well.
I did one mistake, which was totally mine. I sewed the neckline shut before I added the collar. So I had to unpick it and add the collar. I think that the extra work was worth it!
Yes, I have been sewing for Julie a lot lately. I just have been thinking sundresses, and I guess that the 70s had a lot of sundresses? Or I am really inspired by that red and blue checked fabric. Either one.
Makena also got to have a turn at modeling the dress!
