My Life in Miniature

In a thrilling turn of events, your local ‘pants till death’ friend has made a dress.

This pattern is the Sew Over It Florence dress, which came free with a sewing magazine. I loved the design instantly, and after making it, I still do!

I liked it for several reasons, including the button closure and the length of the sleeves. Three-quarter length sleeves are so nice, why don’t we see more of them? (I should make more of them….)

The buttons are these whimsical little flower-shaped ones, and the collar is curved like a cheongsam collar.

It feels very lightweight and summery, especially with the daisy print fabric.

I feel very much like Sophie Hatter from Howl’s Moving Castle in this last picture. (It’s a tragedy I don’t have a copy; I would have included it in the photoshoot!)

I plan to make another one in a lovely leafy fabric I purchased while on holidays; in terms of visible changes, I’d probably make the collar about 1cm (just under 1/2 inch) thinner. The height it is now looks a little bit chunky to me.

Anyways, see ya!
