New Look A6180 Second Time Around is A Charm!

It seems that whenever I make a pattern I can't just make one dress.  After Memorial Day and the compliments I received wearing the plaid dress, I HAD to make another one.  I worked on the fitting issue with the excessive ease in the bust/waist area.

I had the perfect fabric to make my second version with.  A stretch cotton from www.fabricmartfabrics.com that I bought some time ago.  I loved the Aqua/Green/Yellow/Hot Pink colors and floral and paisley too!

I have worn this version about 4 times since I made it.  It's a keeper!

I know the back view is wrinkled, I wore it before I took a picture.  Wearing the dress, there are no wrinkles at the shoulders and back.

I have a red fabric with white daisies and "loves me"  "loves me now" saying all over.  I have been debating on making either New Look 6653 dress or the Butterick 5030 cross over dress with it.

You'll have to stay tuned to find out!

Until next time............................
