SS2011 Set 2: Summer LBD (Butterick 5638)

 

 

I love this dress, its feels so amazing, its timeless and elegant.

This is a long time in the making, I've had this fabric in my stash for around 3 years. It was a gift from my mom that she purchased in Trinidad. I had 3 dresses in mind for this fabric but Butterick 5638 was the winner.

 

• Fabric: 1.5 Yds Embroidered Linen
• Lining: 1.5 Yds Matte Polyester Lining
• Notions: Hook & eyes, Black thread & 22 inch zipper
• Added additional 2 inches of Length to dress after I made my petite adjustment and added back the inch to hem of the dress.

 

 
 
 

 

 

SS2011 Set 2:Vogue 1225 - Marigold Yellow

While my mom was here she made vogue 1225, which is part of my spring/summer set 2.

This was one of my birthday gifts from her, I had no idea she was going to sew it for me, she worked on it while I was at work and the day before my birthday she put it on the dress form to surprise me when I got home.

Even though I didn't make it, I thought I would share it with you all.

I can't get over this dress, its very beautiful in person.

 

 

 

 

 
 
 

 
 

My mom said it very time consuming, as you can see, it has a lot of details including the petticoat underneath, 4 yds of fabric is no joke.

I hope everyone is well and having fun in the sun, I will poke my head in a couple time during the summer but not as frequently as I've been doing early this year, until it is cold again :)

By for now.
