Last weekend I had the best Sunday - I finished my
Elisalex! Yes, it has changed from a Reversalex to an Elisalex. The main reason being I couldn't find a reversible zip that I liked that matched the fabric but I also felt that the pink fabric was so thick that lining the skirt would have made it too bulky.
I'll do a full post about it when I get some better photos - I'm hoping to wear it at the weekend - but I couldn't resist posting a photo now as I'm so proud of it! Definitely the best fitting, neatest and prettiest item of clothing I've made yet! Thank you
By Hand London - the sew-along was so much fun!
What a gorgeous colour! It is such a pretty dress, have you got somewhere nice to wear for its first outing at the weekend?
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to seeing you tomorrow.
Thank you! One time when you're down we should go to Shaukat (the shop where I got the fabric) as it's just full of amazing Liberty prints. We're off to see friends for dinner so it'll be a good excuse to get a summer dress - even if I do end up wearing it with thick tights!
DeleteSee you later today!
Kathryn this is stunning! I hope we get to see a picture of you wearing it :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Shivani. I really hope the weather is nice enough at the weekend - though maybe even if it isn't I should wear it in protest about our un-springlike weather!
DeleteLove your dress, that fabric looks amazing! Looking forward to your full post on it :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Hazel. I love yours too! I'm so bad at remembering to take photos when I'm wearing clothes I've made (yesterday I wore a new, and my first, Colette Ginger, and totally forgot to take any photos)but I'll try and remember this weekend!
