Like many other bloggers/BurdaStyle-ers I've been eyeing off the Mociun tie-front dress! I pieced together information from verypurpleperson, Anna Allen & FarahAJH to make my prototype.
I used my own bodice block - JJ's bodice sloper on BurdaStyle would be good if you haven't drafted your own. I worked off Anna's instructions to get these pattern pieces (v. messy!).
I left darts out from the front, but kept them at the back. The necktie is a long, 7" wide strip and the skirt is just two big, gathered rectangles. The bodice wasn't sitting snug, so I made a casing and threaded elastic though. I also gathered the front bodice side seams. This seemed to help a lot!
My reheated quiche is calling to me. Lunch time! More on this (and other projects) soon...
This is gorgeous! Love how you styled it with the black leggings and boots too. Def going on my To Do list.
ReplyDeleteThank you! It was so cold at home, I refused to get out of my boots for a photo. But I guess it worked out ok :)
