Comfy green dress

23/11/2012      Sewing      12 Comments

Hello everyone,
It’s been a veeeeeeeeeeeeery long time no see. I went on a lovely long holiday to Indonesia. Which was great, but afterwards I got sick. Luckely I’m better now. I didn’t catch anything on my holiday. So it wasn’t very serious. I suffered from nephritis. It is over now, but I’m still very tired. Hopefully that will be over soon.
But I’m here to tell you about one of dresses I made a while back. It is a green dress with grey dots, very simple, but lovely.

I drafted the top myselves by tracing a t-shirt I like very much. The skirtpart is just a simple tired skirt.

The dress is very comfy to wear. I prefer to wear it with a belt. It looks really flathering then.
The facts:
Pattern: top is traced from a t-shirt, the skirt is a simple tired skirt
Year: 2012
Mods: none
Fabric: 1 meter (1,5m wide) heavy jersey,  6 euro  Moens modestoffen
Notions: thread for my serger I had around
Time to complete: +/- 3 hours.
First worn: the same day as I finished it to go to a wedding. Sadly I have no good pictures from it.
Wear again? Yes! It is very comfy, I will add pockets in the next one
Total cost: 6 euro

    Aaah, ik dacht al, wat is dat nu toch met Lelie? 😉
    Mooi kleedje! Het ziet er inderdaad wel comfortabel uit. En niet te ingewikkeld, da’s sowieso altijd een pluspunt! 😉

    Oei serieuze ziekte dus, blij dat je beter bent en ik hoop dat je snel minder moe bent. Je hebt gelukkig wel weer een heel mooi kleedje gefabriceerd, ziet er inderdaad comfortabel uit, daar hou ik van 🙂

      Bedankt Cleo! Ik hoop ook dat ik snel echt helemaal de oude ben, het gaat er stilletjes aan naartoe, maar in geduld hebben ben ik nooit goed geweest 🙁
