Dresses served me so well over the summer that I want to get a few together for autumn and winter too. Since I enjoyed making my Donna Karan draped dress so much, I'm starting with this very similar long sleeved Michael Kors number - Vogue 1191.
I'm making it in a black and white print jersey and to be honest I don't know if it will be totally successful in a print but that's what I had enough of on hand and I wanted to start right away so I will cross my fingers!
If anyone else is thinking of making this I thoroughly recommend checking out Jacqui's Home Made Couture blog which has lots of fantastic tips and photographs - thank you Jacqui, especially for the hint on how to raise the neckline.
More coming soon when I have something that actually looks like a dress and not just a random pile of jersey....

Вау!!! Какое платье!!! Один восторг!!
ReplyDeleteМне кажется, что лучше из однотонной ткани все таки сшить, без печатного рисунка. Удачи вам!
ReplyDeletegood luck! it's such a pretty pattern - can't wait to see how it turns out :)
ReplyDeleteIt will be interesting to see how the dress is finished with that pattern, the first was great
ReplyDeleteLove that pattern. It should look fine in the print - not like it's a really busy print.
ReplyDeleteI loved your DK dress so much I bought that pattern *and* this one, which is high on my list. Thanks for the tip on Jacqui's blog. I read through the instructions for this a couple times and came away thoroughly confused.
ReplyDeleteI think raising the neckline would be a priority with this pattern. The plunging neckline certainly deterred me from buying it.
ReplyDeleteTolle Lösung! Ich finde es toll.
