Here is my second dress from Advance 8029!
Here' the pattern, view 3
I'm happy with it, still I think I'll make a little smaller from the side next time.
I need to improve in sewing the zipper!
I have a problem with the back pleat: as I set in my car the fabric ripped in the upper side of the pleat, you know where the seam is. I was thinking to cover the disaster with a tiny bow...any other suggestions?
How do you enforce that spot?
This is beautiful! I absolutely love the color and it looks so great on you! Great job!!
RispondiEliminaThank you so much Debi!!!
RispondiEliminaThat's a great job! The colour is perfect and the fit is lovely. Zippers can be really tricky. Why don't you try Tasia's tutorial for a handpicked zipper:

Great blog you have!
Hey, what a joy to find someone close! Even decades we like the same style, from los40s to the 60s, these are my favorites. I will come here .... Love, love your dress.
RispondiEliminaI would recommend Tasia's tutorial for the handpicked zipper. I've never sewed a zipper by machine because I love the control you get from doing it by hand. It doesn't really take that long either and it's very neat.
RispondiEliminaLOVE the dress too - such a beautiful colour.
Thank you ladies! Im going to check Tasia's tutorial for sure!
RispondiEliminaThe dress looks good! What fabric did you make this dress out of? It looks like a nice wool from here, but it's hard to tell. And I love the new headline banner!
RispondiEliminaHi Jo! Yes, it's a wool blend, red and white...very soft! I buy my fabric in a fantastic shop, all Italian stuff....a lot of fantastic silk as well, I get crazy everytime I go there, I would buy all!!!
