Navy Double Gauze

Posted in Sewing

I finished this dress a couple of weeks ago, but I’ve only just got around to photographing it.

The author stands outside in front of a hedge. She faces the camera, wearing a navy and white checked dress. She has her hands in her pockets. She is photographed from neck to ankles.

I used the same pattern as my library dress, but I brought the neckline in a bit, so now it’s more of a circular neckline.

I also substituted the Rosery Apparel Daisy sleeves, like the library dress.

And you know I had to put contrasting pockets in!

This fabric is double gauze, and it feels light as a cloud and just as soft. That should mean it’s nice and cool for the hot summer days yet to come.

The author stands in front of a hedge, wearing the navy checked dress. She faces the camera, holding the skirt out by the side seams. Instead of the tie belt, she has a brown leather belt around her waist.

It almost looks better with a leather belt than the matching tie belt!

I’ve never worked with double gauze before, so this was a welcome challenge. I can see why people recommend it for pyjamas and loungewear – I’d definitely wear this lounging around!

Anyways, see ya!
