OK, first let me start off by apologizing for not having a full length photo of this dress. Yes, I know it is a sin to post this without proper photography and I don't even have the dress anymore to re-take the photo. I made this dress a long time ago but I think I want to re-make this one out of a different type of fabric. I really wanted to post this one because I want everyone to know that you can look great for very little money and sometimes little time!
I bought this pattern at...you guessed it...A THRIFT STORE!!! It was 10 cents! The thrift store is my favorite place to go to shop for vintage sewing patterns. You take a risk in that the pattern may not have all the pieces included but I can risk a dime! I also saved on the fabric which I purchased at Walmart for about $4!
Pattern: Simplicity 7705 (Out of Print/Vintage)
Description: Wrap dress in 2 lengths - I made this one in the knew length version
Fabric Used: Light weight print - I honestly can't remember what type of fiber...sorry but this is best for light weight cottons, wool and knits. I think I will try this in a light weight knit next time.
Sizing: The pattern I bought was a size 10; however, this is a wrap dress so you can wrap to fit if you are smaller than the size you find!
Instructions: Easy to follow
Changes: I made no changes at all
Level of Difficulty: Basic sewing skills should be fine for this one...
Timing: This can totally be completed in a couple of hours or less
I received lots of compliments when I first made it. I love wrap dresses! Thank goodness for DVF for coming up with such a beautiful creation. I often wore this dress to work with some pumps and I even wore this dress in a family portrait!
I am still amazed that I made this dress for $4.10 a hour of time or so!
Ta Ta for now my lovelies! I will be back with another DIY style creation...
Much luv
e
Love how this came out!
