I had a 1 yard piece of magenta ponte knit fabric that I thought would work nice with a print fabric for a color block type dress. After sewing it up I realized it was TOO MUCH! There was a lot going on with this dress....colorblocking, cheetah print, bell sleeves...too much!
Girl M. said that if I wore this dress to Church I would have to wear a BIG hat to go with it! LOL!

Back to the sewing machine...........
I removed the solid color panel and remade the sleeves into a short sleeve version. It's a busier print but a more simple design now.

Nice! I think it would have been fine without the bell, or with print sleeves but still the pink panel. But I like your fix, and it is probably more versatile with jackets as the all print version. I always love seeing what you make, and seeing a rescue is nice. It helps ideas percolate through my brain.
ReplyDeleteI think you made the right choice :-) but the first version is a lot of fun (and a lot of look)
ReplyDeleteIn my head see all kinds of possibilities with those two fabrics.
ReplyDeleteI liked your color blocked dress; that pink is gorgeous. Your remake does look good also and probably you will get more use from it. Do try to use that pink fabric though, I think it is a great color.
