I mentioned that I would probably use Vogue 9260 again way back in June. Lol Isn't the summer going by super fast? I actually thought I made the jumpsuit in July; but when I looked back in my archives, it was June 11 when I posted the review. More on my initial review is here.
The top of the dress is made exactly like the original pattern, but the skirt of it is a easy, easy self drafted skirt. With the remaining water colored challis, I decided to make a skirt. So I cut it into two pieces (front and back). Then with some black challis, I cut two more pieces for the lower skirt.
Just a few wrinkles across the back. Pictures taken after church on Sunday. |
For the construction, I sewed the water colored challis together along the sides and gathered it to fit the bodice. Next, I cut the black challis the same width also sewing them together at the side to form a circle. Next, I folded it in half with the wrong side facing. Then I attached the lower skirt to the upper skirt. No hem required as all edges are sewn together and serged.

That's it. Just a easy skirt attached to the bodice of the original pattern.
Happy Sewing!
