I think Virginia would have liked this dress. I had her in mind when I made it. It's (in part) red. She loved red. It's different. She was a huge fan of "different".
Both fabrics are from her stash. The red linen blend was used previously in this project and the creme is a polyester blend with a huge wrinkle effect.
The dress is View C. This is another one of those patterns that I could take one of each view if I could somehow find the time to make them all.
I like the "lines" and the overall simplicity of the dress. Simple hooks and eyes as closures are all that's required. If I had one "do over" it would be to decrease the height of the collar. It's a little high for my taste.
The only changes that I made to the pattern was to cut the center front piece into two pieces so that I could divide the dress evenly between fabrics.
Yep...she would have liked this one...
Until next time...PEACE AND BLESSINGS!!!
Loving your unique dress... and perfect with the t-strap pumps.
