Well well, it’s been quite a while since I’ve had a new finished garment. Here we have the final fabric garment (conveniently made in my size) for the upcoming Kat dress pattern download! I used silk crepe de chine since I had a boatload of it laying around here and I really like the way it turned out with the three blues together. There are a few changes made in this version, namely the sweep of the skirt. The original dress had such a large skirt that it was cumbersome to wear and found myself never picking it out of my closet for that reason. For this one I reduced the swing of the skirt a bit and I think it makes for a much more flattering dress.
The silk crepe de chine has a really nice swing to it, but you know what’s really really really hard? Trying to take a photo with a tripod of yourself swinging your skirt when the self timer is on silent and you can’t figure out how to turn the sound back on. This is the best photo I got and I had to crop out my head because I had my angry face on. Really really angry face. Definitely need to keep that to myself.
Anyway, I am going to take the weekend off from here and focus on getting this pattern ready for download! I just have to finish up the instructions and we’re ready to go. I’m hoping to have it available by Tuesday or Wednesday next week. Have a super awesome Labor Day Weekend everyone!
love the blues + the dress + your long hair!
looking forward to the pattern download

I absolutely love this, can’t wait to make one!

Very nice… And the blues look great together. Happy weekend!
Nice job! I actually love all those accidental angry faces that comes with self-timer-photography… they are the best! Wouldn’t that make an aweome picture book?
This is absolutely gorgeous; I love it!!
This is gorgeous! I’ve just discovered your wonderful blog through Zoe (from So Zo What Do You Know) who was raving about it in the pub yesterday…
That looks so nice in those colours. So excited that you are making this available!
Beautiful dress. Looking forward to making one of my own.
Oh I heart this dress. I never wear dresses but this I would love to make and actually wear.
