Birthday Dress!
I'm delighted to share another addition of my birthday dress project. I've used New Look 6824 FIVE times. And this is the second time I used it for a birthday dress. The first one was a ivory crepe satin with a lace overlay. That was in 2008. I was a smaller person then. Lol
Here is a link to all my posts on New Look 6824.
Patterns can be easily altered, which is fantastic. For this fifth installation, I just graded it up as I cut. This was a super quick make. I needed a pink-ish dress for our church Annual Women's Conference. This was the first time our main "color" wasn't white. I went digging through boxes and bins looking for this fuchsia wool that I purchased at Fishman's Fabrics years ago. Lucky for me I had already paired it with a China silk lining. Both were neatly stored in a plastic bag. No moth wholes, just perfect.
I didn't really have anything in mind when I purchased it. So now, it is a Jackie O-ish dress that is so me. It sewed up fast. No problems at all.
Parting Photo: Pink was the color this year. All because of the new Barbie movie. I wasn't my goal to make three pinkish outfits this summer. There is a collage of my three pink outfits that I completed this year.
