For this dress I used Simplicity 2580 and a version of McCalls 5811.
The fabric is a shiny, sparkly, and very bright red sort of knit. The top, or bodice is from the cowl part of the simplicity pattern and the bottom is almost a full circle skirt. The skirt comes to just below the knee and the waist seam is an empire waist. This picture was taken on the cruise where I wore it for a formal night.
Accessories: Black shoes, black cami, black fashion belt, black coverup (It is sleeveless), black headband, and silver jewelry.
Sorry I didn't get a better picture. :-l
Very pretty! Where was the cruise to?
ReplyDeleteWow! You did a great job on your dress. Sew cute! :)
ReplyDeleteHi Joanna,
ReplyDeleteYou're back! =) Hope you had a great trip!
What a beautiful dress...I love the color! Nice black accessories as well. Someday I would like a bolero (is that what you call the coverup thing?).
I would love to see more photos fromt the cruise. =)
Blessings!

Thanks everybody! The trip was amazing, but I'll give it a post of its own later. :-)
ReplyDeleteAnnie,
Boleros are coverups, but this coverup in particular was just a tube of fabric.
Joanna,
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful dress! You could wear this for Christmas, too. =) I love the glittery red fabric paired with the black top. You look very lovely and feminine in it. =)
Blessings!
