That 70s dress
I'm not sure why I haven't posted about this dress sooner. I cut it out MONTHS ago and it sat there in its gallon Ziploc on my sewing table until February when I sewed it up for The Monthly Stitch's UFO challenge. But I didn't get the photos done in a timely manner and I missed February by a week and didn't want my first post there to already be late.
So now here I am finally posting about this dress.
This is the SisBoom Meghan Peasant Dress made out of a cotton jersey blend knit from a past knitfix.
The fabric definitely screamed "70s!" at me. So I thought this pattern would be good, especially with the bell sleeves. I actually ended up chopping several inches off the length because when I tried it on before I hemmed it, I thought it would look the part better as a mini.
It came together pretty fast. I'm not sure why I took so long to sew it up. Probably because it called for bias tape for the sleeve gathers and that sounded like work. But it was super simple.
I have yet to wear this dress in public. I imagine I eventually will. I'll probably pack it with me on our trip to Disneyland this next week with some shorts to wear under it, of course.
