This dress is fairly similar to my confetti dress and based mostly on Vogue 1351 with the front drafted as a regular sleeveless dress rather than with a cowl neck. With this version, instead of sewing a tie to the dress, this one is removable. I added belt loops to the side so I can wear a regular belt or the tie that I made in the same fabric.
This dress is fully self lined, so it is very swishy and doesn't at all cling or show wobbles, which is always a risk with a knit dress. I was a little more successful at cutting the lining shorter than the dress outer, which gives a much nicer blousing look to the dress. I think this keeps it from looking too formal for school.
I hope you have a good week. It's going to be cracker in my house.
What a lovely dress:) Reading australian sewingblogs are really helpful when planning sewing for the next season:)
