I was just in time with making this dress too. The weather this week had been iffy - raining the first half and warming up in patches throughout. But the weekend is looking promising and we had a beautiful California Friday.
I love so much about this dress. I'm really pleased with my fabric choice as this dress feels really bright and 'summery.' The shoulder straps came out cute... I was worried that it would look to juvenile. And I LOVE the pockets with the little red buttons.

I love the pockets! |
The dress was easy to sew and now that I'm finished, I'm thinking I might go on the hunt for some more fabric to make another one.
I hope you all have a lovely long weekend! I have a busy, long weekend ahead, but I'm looking forward to it.
EDIT: I forgot to mention... this dress is the first outfit in my Summer Sewalong with Rhinestones and Telephones. This dress falls under the Sundress category.

Curious, did you do a FBA to the parfait? I have roughly the same shape as you and am wondering if I have to do an FBA or whether I can just cut out a bigger size for the bust area only.
ReplyDelete@hungrypanda Nope, no adjustments to the pattern whatsoever. I love Colette's patterns because they seem to fit my shape perfectly without any adjustments. I think she says somewhere in her pattern details that they average at a C.
ReplyDeleteI was trolling through the Coletterie and stumbled across your parfait. One of the cutest I have seen!
