tablecloth dress.


my first (of hopefully many more) wearing post of 2015.
with the weather so hot in my new town I've noticed a bit of a gap in my wardrobe.
one of lose fitting, easy wear dresses.
I made this one with a thrifted tablecloth and a thrifted pattern- Butterick 3349.
it's a simple pattern with (after alterations by me) only two pattern pieces- a front and a back. I tried a high/low hem for the first time too.
I'm still trying to perfect the neckline binding. I can't seem to make it sit flat. any tips?
wearing it with Lotta clogs, WeWood watch and thrifted bangle.

    Cute pattern. I kinda like the way the neckline sits. If you hadn't said anything, we'd be none the wiser.

    I love what you're wearing posts. It's always inspiring to see what my fave bloggers wear. This dress is simply gorgeous. Welcome to my world of dressing for the summer heat. Oh how I long for cardigan & tights weather! I have no idea about the neckline. I'm finding the neckline & armholes the most challenging in my sewing. They often turn out wonky somehow! Xx

    This dress is gorgeous on you. The colour and style are really flattering. Loving the clogs too; am thinking to purchase some with my Christmas money. Are they comfortable?
