After my pattern test, some seamstresses gave me the hint to make a dress version of my Mara blouse. Not a challenge if you ask me, because it’s just a matter of extending the bottom seam and finished! To make it a little more special then that, I added a green band…
Both fabrics are for sale at the Ki&KO webshop. I would like to thank Pascal for sponsoring this great fabrics! Normally my budget would not be big enough to afford these beauties, so I’m really happy with your support! The Peking Red fabric is from Free Spirit and designed by Rowan. Some coordinating mint green fabric matches this Oilily like fabric perfectly. The bias binding is ‘home made’, again!
I added the original butterfly sleeves on this dress because the fabric is to special for the flutter version. The butterfly sleeves give this dress an oriental look. A little bit too long, but sewn for next summer. Oh, I hope she won’t grow to fast!
I love dress version more than the blouse one, if that’s possible!!!
Great dress, Marte, I love fabrics too :)

Ok dit is echt mijn favoriete versie van de Mara. Super mooie stofcombinatie en het patroon komt nog beter tot zijn recht als jurk.
Supermooi als jurkje! En die groene rand maakt het helemaal af, ik ben fan!
So cute! Love that contrasting band, and the sweet little sleeves…
knap! ook voor mij is dit mijn favoriet tot nu toe :)
hele mooie stof en mooie combinatie!
Gorgeous – please have this out in time for our southern hemisphere summer in a couple of months!
Hi Sara, if everything goes well, I’ll be selling this pattern from the first of October. I hope you will have enough time to finish you shirt in time then! :) M
Oh! Ik was al fan van het bloesje, maar dit vind ik echt ‘wauw’!
Very sweet:)
Looking forward to your pattern–the design is impeccable and I am excitedly choosing fabrics, which is a long process for me, so the October date is perfect!
Deze mouwen, de jurkversie: een hit! Gefeliciteerd met al dat harde werk!
What a great idea, turning the top into a tunic!
I can’t wait to start sewing a winter version for my daughters!
Oh ja, dat ziet er ook geweldig uit als jurk! Die stof is echt wauw, en de combinatie met de groene band is super!
Mooi! Ik vind die band onderaan perfect passen. En het is heel mooi als jurkje.
Very cute!
Very sweet and classy option. She looks darling in it.
it’s so lovely Marte!
Making it into a dress was an obvious option :-) And I’m in love with the hem band!
I can’t wait to make a dress version, now!
