That's pony hair in her mouth. |
So Skirt As Top and Craftiness is Not Optional have been running a series called Vintage May this past month and have encouraged others to sew along. I had some fabric that I purchased from Joann's a few months ago that I knew would be perfect. It reminds me of the type of dresses Cindy on the Brady Bunch would wear.
I then traced around the neckline to make a pattern for the angled collar. I added a zipper to the back instead of buttons for a more streamlined look.
I also thought some trapezoid-shaped pockets would be cute and functional for some mini pony toys.
This skirt was made with some lace left over from my 80s inspired top that I made during the Project Sewn sew along. I attached it to some cute Riley Blake dot fabric. I tried to give the top of it the gathered "paper bag" look, but decided against loops and a sash. I also uploaded it to the Skirt Week pool. I probably should've made it a little shorter, but I make everything a size too big hoping it will last longer!
And now get ready for some monster faces!
Hi Renee,
ReplyDeleteI love the dress! Especially with the cute shoes! Here in Australia winter is coming, but with tights and a cardigan it will also be lovely. Thank you for the inspiration and happy sewing!

Thanks so much - it would be sweet with a cardigan and tights, hopefully this lasts into fall!
DeleteI love the Cindy Brady dress! The collar is perfect! Nice work.
ReplyDeleteThanks - it's the first time I've tried a collar like this and I'm so happy with the result!
