Vogue Pattern # 8975

 

This is the second dress I've sewn off V8975, It was hard finding coordinating fabric that I loved that were two-way stretch. The polka dot fabric came from Hancock and the other crazy fabric came from JoAnn's. Although I'm a veteran seamstress the pattern was a little difficult to follow on a couple of accounts. It has been a while since I've "bitten the bullet" and bought a Vogue Pattern, and I expected more for the money you have to lay out for a Vogue Pattern. (Although I got the pattern on the $5 sale!) The neckline was to my liking on the first dress I made off this pattern, but this one turned out a little low for me, but, lucky me, I had a great matching camisole! The flower accessory came from a sale at JoAnn's. The necklace and earrings my sister, Carol, made for me back when the clay jewelry was fashionable. I love it that the necklace copies the motif in the fabric and the earrings repeat the flower theme of the posy accessory. You can see some of Carol's newest beautiful designs at her Etsy Store called Silver Trove. The shoes are from Born. I love this dress because it is so comfortable, different, is all-season. It can also be accessorized in many different ways because of the different colors and designs in the fabric, and can be worn appropriately for many different occasions from wedding reception, church, out to lunch, or a housedress! I'll post a picture of the other dress soon!
