Same old Simplicity 2389 bodice with the Heidi skirt. Liberty print (although I can’t remember which one). Edit: It’s Rachel de Thames.
And, of course, piping. (Nice fat piping on this one!)
The zipper turned out nicely on this one—oh, this me burying the lede, I got a new sewing machine and the new invisible zipper foot is like buttah—post about the sewing machine to come soon.
Here’s a closer view of the bodice, although I think most Constant Readers of this blog could be woken from a sound sleep and draw this from memory:
The pocket piping is barely visible, since the pattern is so busy:
And of course, the back view:
I made about four more of these dresses over the last month, plus two more in a NEW! PATTERN! I’ll try to post those shortly.
Beautiful! I’m not sure if it is possible to find the Simplicity 2389 pattern anymore. Do you know? Would you ever consider creating a pattern Simplicty/Heidi for this beast of a dress! PLEASE. It’s driving me crazy that I can’t make it.
