I found a new website to checkout styles for the upcoming season. It is called Poetry. Great name. Here is the dress:
This is the Velvet Sleeveless Dress. Price tag: $235.00. Details: cotton velvet and lined with cotton, buttons from neck to hem, sleeveless for layering, modern V-neck with topstitching, topstitched bust darts to waist, center front seam with topstitching on either side, top-stitched princess seam from shoulder to hem on the back, side seam pockets with topstitching, deep stitched hem, dry-clean only.
This dress sounds so beautifully made with all the topstitching and the fact that it is lined. I am not particularly familar with the cotton velvet as I usually avoid fabrics that are high maintenance. No doubt we can get the look without the maintenance, right? Here is a pattern that I think gives the illusion of this dress:
This is the Dani Pinafore pdf pattern by Seamwork. This pattern does not have the princess seaming for all the topstitching detail nor does it have the row of buttons down the back. This pattern is appropriate for heavier fabrics like corduroy, denim, suede, faux suede. Perfect for layering. I think a faux suede would be wonderful.
Hope you are inspired to create something wonderful.
Happy Stitching!
