This is Lily ...
errh! No - this is Lily..
and this is lily...
Lily is a very pretty sundress and I love the way that the bodice and pocket flap details have been highlighted in a contrasting fabric but if that isn't something which appeals to you then Lily can be made out of all the same fabric which results in this look.
and the back....
The skirt is prettily tapered for a slim fit with a back kickpleat for movement.
This sewing pattern from Colette sewing patterns would make a very pretty dress with extremely flattering and feminie shaping. Why not stitch one up this weekend and release your 'summer siren' ? Lily would be a great assett in your summer wardrobe (if only we were enjoying summer weather :( )
The Hazel dress sewing pattern is another mouth watering design from Colette.
This sewing pattern could be confidently attempted by a beginner with its flattering v-seamed bodice and soft dirndle style skirt.
More Hazel pictures for you to feast your eyes upon.
and another....
The simple dirndl style skirt has in-seam pockets.
... It has a softer, less tailored shape than Lily... and if you want to get clever with stripey fabric ...
then there are instructions to help you (the V seamed bodice is constructed using bias cut side panels making mixing up the fabrics simple and fun).
Colette patterns come with full instructions and the promise of exceptional styling. Why not visit Sara Mitnick's blog for some amazing insight into her creativity and ideas for getting the most out of your sewing.
Horray for Colette Patterns!
