Yes, Yes, it said all that to me!
Blue Abstract Knit Crossover Dress |
Back View |
I used my McCall 7160 skirt pattern for a full, flowy skirt. I frankenpatterned the top from the Butterick 6821 Top. Instead of gathered shoulders I used my TNT knit top pattern and armhole and sleeve templates.

I was so excited when I received this fabric from Fabricmartfabrics.com I was ready to cut out the dress pattern that evening, except.................. I didn't have the correct color fold over elastic. It took two whole days to receive it from Ebay. Sometimes you never know if the color is correct but I was lucky this time, it matched perfect!
Fold Over Elastic |
$10.80 Fabric + $3.20 FOE + $1.00 Elastics = $15.00 |
I received many compliments when I wore it to Church this past Sunday. The sleeve length was perfect because I didn't need a cardigan during the service. They like it very cool in there!

Favorite Dress of the Week! |
I am in LOVE with this dress!
I'm in the process of cataloging my patterns. It seems I need to have a better system. Any suggestions would be much appreciated. P.S. I do not have a cell phone.......
Until next time..............

Lovely, and figure flattering!
ReplyDeleteIt is a lovely dress! I saw that fabric on FM and am now wishing i had bought some. It's perfect for a wrap dress.
ReplyDeleteThank you, I am thinking I can still wear it through Fall with a beige sweater.
DeleteOh my gosh I love it! It is really quite striking!!!
ReplyDeleteI snagged a few yards of that fabric and put it straight in the bin for summer. But the color really does work for fall as well!
Thank you! I can't wait to see what lovely you create with the fabric!
DeleteNothing like a Franklin Pattern you look very nice
