At H+H Cologne, I spotted a circular dress. That’s right: a dress, not a skirt! ‘That’s comfy, twirly and fast’ was my first thought! So today I gave it a try. It’s the perfect pattern to go on holiday isn’t it? (Yes I’m already dreaming of vacation…)
Actually this dress is a half circle. When you go to my Instagram feed you can see the a picture without Lisa. I was a bit concerned after I finished it. Will this be beautiful on my girls? Well. Actually I think it’s super cute. Even when Lisa & Nore are already 125cm tall. Really. It’s surely even cuter on smaller kids.
A simple pattern can be combined with a special fabric, don’t you think? So I selected one that I cherished for a while? One of my favourite Petit Pan fabrics ever.
At the top and hem I used some more Petit Pan bias to finished the edges. This is definitely the fastest dress I’ve ever sewn. And Lisa loves it!
We took these quick pictures with my phone. On Monday I can pick up my good camera. Finally! But I already wanted to show the result. Enjoy your sunny weekend.
What do you think? Would you sew this quick, summer dress for your girl? Or do you think it’s too wide …. or strange… I don’t know… Just tell me!
I would looooove to make a simple dress like this for my girl. It’s just perfect
Oh wat a lovely dress and perfect for those summer days… To go from the sea for a quick bite, absolutely ideal!
How did you determine the size for the half circular ?
I’ll actually drew all sizes at once… I’ll upload it soon! 😉
Just perfect!
Ook in de papieren versie en Nederlandstalig? Het is zeer mooi
I love this dress too! On warm day’s it will be perfect!
Heerlijke jurk! Ik maakte eens de Sybille jurk van La Maison Victor. Ook zo’n heerlijk wijde zomerse jurk. Vind het zo heerlijk zorgeloos en vrolijk staan bij de oudste van 6. Maar ze begon nu zelf te mopperen dat ze er een ceintuur bji wilde 🤔
Maar da’s echt leuk gevonden. Dat lijkt me ideaal voor strandvakanties enzo. Snel aan en uit boven een badpakje!
