Inspiration...A-line Dress

 I really like wearing skirts and dresses on hot summer days.  That weather is coming so we need to prepare not.  Here is a dress that would have lots of options:


This is the Lafayette 148 New York Hutchins Belted Short-Sleeve Dress.  Price tag: $798.00. Details:  41 1/2-inches from shoulder to hem, v-neckline, short sleeves, falls around knees, a-line silhouette, invisible back zip, unlined.

I really like this simple silhouette.  Here are a couple of patterns to consider:


This is the Liesl & Co Gelato Blouse + Dress pattern. The dress in this pattern is an a-line with short sleeves.  The neckline does not match the inspiration pattern.  However, I think this is a good match for the inspiration photo.  The neckline can be modified if you choose.


This is the Merchant and Mills The Camber Set pattern.  This pattern has an a-line silhouette with short sleeves.  The neckline is different from the inspiration but again, I think this would work just fine. I do have this one in my pattern stash and really need to use it again.

Hope you are inspired to create something beautiful.

Happy Stitching!
