I'm clearly a convert to the Washi Dress. I love how it fits without fiddling, and I can make it in just one morning. I keep meaning to try the three-quarter sleeves, but then I chicken out. And I really need to get the Washi expansion pack that Rae just put out, the Peter Pan collar kills me!
I've had this pile of fabric for quite a while ($4/yard from my last Marden's trip), and I've just been waiting for the time to make the dress. It's really a chrysanthemum print, but it looks really odd and geometric from far away. So it's fun but respectable.

We had to take a break suddenly for a Popsicle stick sword fight. And now I can say that this dress has been "battle-tested" and aced it with flying colors, even though the sword fight ended in a draw.
Linking up with Amanda Jean for Finish it Up Friday!
Darling dress and I think it suits you very well:):):)
ReplyDeleteThanks so much! I love this pattern so much because it's so flattering. (And I love that I can buy crazy fabrics and make a professional looking dress.)
DeleteLove it! Fantastic fabric for it as well!
ReplyDeleteI've been wanting to give it try for so long now, and after hearing that you made it so quickly this may just be the year that i give it a go!
And really, it has pockets, could it be any more perfect?!
They really do go fast once you get the pattern down. The first couple dresses and tunic that I made took longer, but were still about a day.
DeleteI love the fabric you picked. I made one last year and have only worn it once. I felt pregnant in mine and I'm not yet skilled enough to make changes to a pattern on my own.
ReplyDeleteGo for it! Rae has a lot of great info on her website and on the pattern notes about how to tweak the pattern. I bet if you just cut a smaller skirt you'd fix the pregnant vibe.
DeleteGood luck!
I don't know which I like most: the fab dress (everything is better in red), the cute kid or the beautiful wall colour.
