I have always wanted a yellow dress. This dress could be worn with black tights or accessorized with other colors, It is a neutral that could be a great base for accessories. The fabric was in my stash and is a polyester knit remnant that I found on a clearance section at my local fabric store.
It has an embossed tone on tone on the surface, I needed a pattern that would be simple in design that would complement the design of the fabric.
The pattern that I found is a New Look Workroom 6071 Project Runway . I have had great luck with New Look patterns in the past. The front has a v neck with a .overlay. The directions in the pattern guide inside the paper envelope are easy to follow.
sleeves were shortened to just above the elbow.
I then discovered that the v neck was too low, so I added a v insert, with a piece of antique lace from my stash pile. The cowl is crocheted from a magazine called Simple Knits. I'll be blogging about it later....Happy Sewing!
