The Season of the Dress - Edition 1

Its finished! It's done! I feel a little like Frodo on the mountain after throwing the ring into the fire! This task which I have devoted days to is finally complete! Okay, it took Frodo and Sam months but it felt like months instead of days to me...

Seriously, the dress is finished. I used the red & white linen fabric that I tea dyed to make the dress. The dress pattern is from Vogue OOP 2090 - a Tamotsu wardrobe pattern.

Here is the dress before hemming:

Here is a close-up of the collar area:

And finally me in the dress:

More about the construction later! Just wanted to share that the dress is finished! I am wearing it to work tomorrow! Yes!

    That is gorgeous!

    I really liked reading the entry how you tea-dyed the fabric to "remake" it into your own idea.

    And now to see it as a finished garment - WOW! You picked the perfect pattern. And what a great fitting dress - it looks so nice on you.

    Very nice "springy" look. The dress looks so much better on you than on the hanger!

    After seeing your dress and your mentioning that it's from a Vogue Tamotsu pattern, I ran down the stairs to search through my Tamotsu, alas! sign, seems like I have all the others but not this pattern. I did find it on the internet for $25.00 though...lol. Maybe one of these days from Ebay.
