The vintage flare, neckline, buttons...I just lacked the fabric that screamed, "MAKE ME."
That is, until I met Libelle Sewing's Black Polka Dot Scuba fabric.
I immediately cut out the pattern - like cutting through nice butter - and sewed up Clover within a few days of the fabric arriving.
The fabric gives some structure without being TOO structured - it has a relaxing factor to it, and can become skirts, pants, dresses, and more.
It does breath, pending the garment isn't too tight on your skin - so these sleeves will likely come off and I'll go sleeveless as the sleeves are tight (maybe a bicep adjustment would of helped) and just wear a cute cardigan over it instead.
The sewing itself was easy to follow as usual for a G + G pattern, and I love the ease of construction and the fact that I lacked requiring a seam ripper.
It took me maybe an hour to sew up Clover, and I'm so glad I did - the end result is divine.
Perfect for visits with customers outside the office, or a fun gathering on the weekend.
This fabric was meant for this dress.
