So my last post was all about printing my business cards with my friend Amy. That was kind of one part of the deal we had worked out. In return for this generous favor I promised to make a dress for her. Somewhere on Pinterest she had spotted this gorgeous maxidress and asked me to make something similar for her.
Finding the perfect fabric for a project can be a really annoying task and it took quite a while but eventually she found a really beautiful and soft mediumweight cotton fabric online. The geometric pattern is perfect for this kind of dress and the colors are just beautiful! The top part has short cut sleeves which are gathered at the shoulders, and a v-neck with a neckband.
The skirt part flows nicely even though it consists of only two slightly flared panels.. that's all thanks to the length of almost 50".

 |  No, it's actually not that long.. I didn't adjust the height of the dress form, but actually the dress just slightly grazes the floor |  |
I am absolutely happy with the result. I finished it the day before yesterday, so just right in time for Friday October 5 when Amy is going to have a birthday party/artist showcase at the print studio…"the artist is wearing charmed Liebling", that sounds pretty damn good ;-P
