Inspiration...Printed Dress

I'll admit that January seems a little early for the next silhouette but if you start early, your wardrobe will be ready in time for warm weather:


This is the Lafayette 148 New York Rudy Sleeveless Lyrical Curves Printed Dress.  Price tag:  $498.00.  You can get a closer look at Neiman Marcus website.

Doesn't that seem like a lot for that simple little dress? If you've been following along with the inspiration posts in the blog, you've probably noticed that I use a lot of the same patterns.  Once a pattern is fitted, shouldn't we using it over and over again?  You're going to recognize the next pattern suggestion:


This is the Gallery Tunic + Dress pattern by Liesl + Co.  This isn't a perfect version of the inspiration dress but you do get the neckline.  As far as being sleeveless, you just need to transfer you favorite sleeveless armhole to the pattern.   The silhouette of the inspiration dress is much more sheath like.  However, if you already own this pattern and it is fitted, then it's the perfect spot to start.


This is Simplicity 8258.  This pattern has more of the sheath dress look with the pockets.  However, the neckline and collar would need to be figured out.  If you have an older polo shirt pattern, that information could be transferred.

Hope you're inspired to create something beautiful.

Happy Stitching!
