Its A Wrap! Dress

 This was a bit of a wearable muslin for Kwik Sew 3482. The fabric cost quite a bit (8.99pm) and although I'm not disappointed by the fit. The fabric just isn't me. It's ok, im not heartbroken as this pattern was intended for my Liberty Jersey I got at Christmas. I have already cut that and I'm liking it a lot better.
Since I've started seeing a bit of a difference with the weight loss (and I have a wireless camera shoot thingy) i'm trying to push myself to do back shots too. Be gentle!
I did add the collar to this dress but it just didn't look right with short sleeves. The next version is going to have long sleeves and hopefully the collar.
I think wrap dresses are a good call at the moment as it means they can be adjusted easily as I shrink!

This Diane Von Furstenburg is a classic! I can see this pattern becoming a bit of a TnT!

  3. So cute, Stevie! You look fabulous. Be proud of the back shot! :D Also, I love the skirt of this wrap dress. Its fluttering hem is just lovely. I can't wait to see your Liberty version.

  5. I love wrap dresses! Especially in a knit, so comfy! Pattern and fit look great, I understand why you're not in love with the fabric, though...
