For the summer heat we have been having in Brisbane I would say this dress is pretty spot on. Perfect to wear to pools, beaches whilst on holidays etc. Its made from a lightweight knit material and was soooo easy to make and easy to just throw on over swimmers!!

I am not sure my dress looks as flattering as the one above but I am still pretty happy with the result.
There are three pattern pieces in this dress. Three!!! So it was incredible easy to follow. Four if you include my additional sleeves :)
This dress is a lightweight knit material. I loved how lightweight and fun this dress looked. It was exactly the kind of beachy, summer holidays type dress I had in mind. However, I hate dresses on me that finish at that part of the shoulder. I feel like I look like a he-man so I added some small sleeves.
I probably could have cut a smaller size now thinking about it because it was a knit which gets a little bigger anyway. It is a little baggy on me me but still nice to wear this summer.
I would definitely sew it again because did I mention it was sooo easy to make hehe!!
Let me know what you think!! Still more vogue pattern reviews to come!!
Oooh the patern and material suits you to a tee!!

DeleteGorgeous dress! I found your review and blog through PatternReview! This is definitely one I'll be tempted to try. Unfortunately, we are freezing in the snow right now but when it's summer for us perhaps, lol!
ReplyDeleteHey Leslie, thanks for following my blog and welcome!! Thats okay summer will be here before you know it! I would love to experience the snow at Christmas it would be such a nice atmosphere. Its stinking hot where we are atm and not cooling down at all.
DeleteSuch a cute dress.Looks adorable on you..
ReplyDeleteThanks Judy you are always so lovely!!
DeleteI love your dress!! I like your sleeve addition. I don't wear dresses much at all, but, I could see me wearing this. Super cute!
ReplyDeleteThanks Claire! I hardly wore dresses either until I started sewing. Could never find dresses that were long enough or had sleeves etc. it's good to customise patterns with sleeves and this one was so simple and quick the make!
DeleteThis looks lovely, I have always admired this pattern, but with my hips was worried it would make me look pregnant. It looks good on you however and perfect for this stupid, hot weather we have been having!
ReplyDeleteThanks Lizzie I know I am kinda looking forward to going back to work next week because I will be in the air con! Where is the rain to cool us down!!!
