S8056-Missoni meets DVF

This is the third time I made this dress. It had been a UFO for so long and I had a minor issue with the front wrapover. I really love this version, but once again the Faux-soni beckoned. It looks like a coat, but it's actually a see thru raschel knit. I had to wear a full length slip beneath it.

S8056

Remember this? Well, I made another dress using the alterations I talked about. Much better.

Measure twice, cut once...


This is a completed UFO. I inherited the fabric from a client well over a decade ago. When I cut this out (a decade ago as well), I didn't account for walking ease, so there is a major display of leg going on when I sit. But I did cut it the length of view A. Two weeks ago, I finally sewed it, didn't like the length, eye-balled it and cut. Now it reaches just above my knees. A tad too short for me. I'm putting it in the Etsy store. No point in holding on to it. Luckily, I have enoungh of the fabric left over to make this again.
