Since I started documenting fabric purchases I have been able to see how long it takes me to use the fabric. You know fabric buying is a hobby all to itself and it just happens to be associated with sewing. The fabric for this dress was purchased in November 2020. Just a year and a half ago. I guess that is not to bad. The Camber Set pattern was fitted in the early days of covid and kept me busy during the long days that I stayed with my parents. I still enjoy the dress that I made in 2020 but decided it was time to make another one because the summers are hot and the dress is cool on those hot days. Here is the fabric:
This is a 5 ounce cotton sateen. Here is the finished dress - 3 ways:
Here it is the dress with the Rothy's loafers. I love these shoes and wear them all the time. The link to the Rothy's website will give you a $20 discount if you are a new purchasing customer and I will get a $20 credit. That a win-win for both of us.
Dress with different shoes - Okabashi Breeze Flip Flops. These shoes are really comfortable. I do recommend this brand. Link is for Target.
This time I added skinny belt and keep the Okabashi flip flops. I think I like the idea of the belt. Not so sure that that particular belt is the right one. I have a bit of extra fabric so I will make a tie belt and see how it does.
Most likely I will wear the dress most of the time without the belt but I do like the look of the belt a lot. Maybe add a long necklace. What do you think?
The only change that I made with the version is that I added 2-inches to the length. I will adjust the shoulder with the next version. I was just a bit lazy this go round and wanted something new to wear.
On to my next project, if I can find the pattern.
Happy Stitching!
