Vogue 8825 is still pretty popular. I made my first version in 2012. It was one of my favorite dresses of that year. I knew I would make it again, but didn't know when.
So to help speed up my little stash reduction project, I decided to make it again . Why? Because I like it; it's quick and easy. (Side note: my knit fabric collection is getting out of control.)
The weather was great last weekend. These pictures were taken in Ogden Park.
I didn't have enough fabric to make the length of the belt and I had to cute the sleeve band into two pieces. The sewing process was much faster this time, because I didn't stop to try it on until the entire dress was done, except for the hem.
I can't say that this will be the last time I make it, cause I still like it a lot.
Happy Sewing!

Very stunning Cennetta.
ReplyDeleteLove it!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Tee.
DeleteLove your fabric. I really like this without that super long tie. I have one version of this dress, and really enjoy wearing it, too. Thanks for reminding me about this pattern.
ReplyDeleteThanks. I like the shorter length too.
DeleteI really like this dress and it looks great in a print fabric as well. I have this pattern and have yet to try it.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Linda. You should try it.
DeleteHoly Moly -- this dress is breathtaking! Wonderful work -- a real eye catcher. It really suits your figure well as well. Thanks for the review.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Pam.
DeleteLove the print you chose for this version! Definitely make it again!

ReplyDeleteThis is pretty. I have one for the fall in my "hell freezes over" pile. Hopefully I'll get it off of there and get it done in the next few weeks! LOL!!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Carol. This dress is pretty easy. It takes about 4 hours at most to make.
DeleteI can see why you have used this pattern again. It suits you so well and the fabric is lovely too.
