dress in progress
Jul. 10th, 2012 09:07 amMaking this rayon challis dress for a work display. Still needs: neck facings, hem, sleeve hems.

(Please excuse the wet, draggled hair. I had just washed it.)
( Back, with sort-of matched print )
I love this print, and rayon is always so nice to work with and to wear. The pattern is New Look 6093. The hip panels are bias-cut, and altogether the piecing perfectly breaks up the linear effect this print had. I used sleeve view D, but I took out the pleat because it just looked stupid.
When it's done, it'll hang at Treadle for a while, then hopefully I can wear it for a fun date!
