Inspiration...A-line Dress

 This is another fabulous a-line dress.  Perfect for hot summer days or the office.



This is the Elbow-Sleeve A-Line Midi Dress by Lafayette 148 New York.  Price tag: $698.00. Details:  Approximately 37-inches from shoulder to hem, notched collar, elbow-length sleeve, yoked back, on-seam pockets, hem hits around knee, a-line silhouette, pullover style, unlined, viscose/elastane fabric,  dry clean.  Model is 5'10".  Here is a close up of the pocket area:


The way the pocket area is done reminds me of slot seams.  Although I like the hidden pocket, I am not so sure about the large breast pocket.  The first pattern that came to mind is this one:


This is the Gallery Tunic + Dress pattern by Liesl & Co.  The pattern is a little different than the inspiration photo - yokes would need to be added, pockets would need to be added, sleeves shortened,  hem straightened but I think the basics are there.  This pattern does have a pleat that the inspiration photo does not have.  You might be able to remove it.  

Hope you are inspired to create something wonderful.

Happy Stitching!
