I told you a maxi version of my frankenpattern would be in the works next.
I used the Butterick 6821/Simplicity 3893 for the bodice and then just cut 2 rectangles on the fold for the skirt.

I tried both blue and white thread for the shoulders but ended up choosing clear nylon thread so that the channels are invisible from the outside. I like the look of it!

I'm thinking that I need a black shrug next. I will dig through my patterns and see if I have something in there.
Until next time.................

Love that fabric! Very Nice. I wear Maxi Dresses and sandals most of the summer--it's like my hot weather uniform. lol.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I think a maxi dress is one of the most easy style to put on and look dressy without much effort. Here in Florida I need all the extra air conditioning I can get! LOL!
