Vogue 7794... finished!

I don't have a photo where I'm wearing the dress and taking a photo on the dress form well, it didn't quite cut it. I'll try to post some pictures later.

Here a peek at some of the details that I like.

The bodice front has an invisible zipper and I'm quite happy that it worked out. The most important tip I've learned while making this dress has to be to invest in a invisible zipper foot made for your machine.

The inside has front and back facing so that it can be worn open.

If I were to change one thing it would be to chose a lighter weight interfacing.

I'm even curious how it would turn out without interfacing. I know, scandalous. But I still wonder.

My favourite feature of the dress has to be the edge stitching throughout.

It was time consuming but I'm pleased with the look.

The biggest surprise was the dropped armhole.

Don't ask me why because it is obvious from the pattern drawings and illustrations.



Would I make it again? For sure! This one will be appropriate for work and the upcoming autumn season.

The next one, maybe in a less serious colour, in a light weight denim or cotton twill. And I think I would tweak the armhole so that it appears more fitted.
