It's not perfect but I love it anyway so I'm not going to point out its flaws this time.
This is the bodice of Butterick 5748 again and the skirt of Vogue 8811. I didn't get a picture of the back this time but I must say I think I'm addicted to these scoop backs. I have made several, using two different scoop back patterns, and now when I put on an ordinary dress it almost feels wrong to have fabric touching my upper back.
Of course I added pockets, as always, and you might notice the two sea green buttons at the neckline. I just happened to have those, only the two, and they're very close to the color of the sea weed in this print so I decided to use them for a little decoration. I'm not sure they're really noticeable enough to make a difference but I like them and I'm glad I used them.
You know, it's funny... I am not especially attracted to navy blue and I would never claim it as one of my favorite colors but I keep making and loving navy blue things. (Well, two so far this year) I think it's more the colors that go with it though. These ocean colors look so cool and summery and the jelly fish are great fun.
So pretty! Love all the shades of blue in this. Looks very cool and comfy, too.
ReplyDeleteThank you, it is. I don't know if you can see it but there's even a tiny bit of purple in the print.
ReplyDeleteYou look very pretty in that dress. I may just copy it.
ReplyDeleteThank you
