![]() I feel quite chic in this dress – it’s rather Whistles, no? And it gained my first ‘I love your dress, where did you get it?’ compliment from someone who doesn’t know I sew: definitely a Bossy Win. Umm, and looking at these photos I’m going to check the sleeves are the same length because they look way off here (I just rolled and tacked them down). ![]() I can’t keep my phone in them without distorting the skirt, so maintain they’re useless except for awkward hands. I’m not usually an in-seam pocket fan as I think they add hip bulk and make skirts hang funny, but went ahead and added them here. ![]() I’ve tacked it closed just above the top button. It’s a little bit lower than what I’d usually go for, but it doesn’t gape at all. I’m definitely more of a round than v-neck person but decided to sew the pattern up as written in the spirit of Sew Bossy. I left off the optional cinching waist ties since I like how it looks as it is. It’s kind of loose-fitting but doesn’t look oversized, since the shoulders and bust fit well. I made a couple of my normal adjustments – raising the waist, shortening the skirt – but I’m very impressed with the fit out of the packet otherwise. I cut the size S which matched my upper measurements – hips too big like normal but the gathered skirt is forgiving – grading to XS at the shoulder. ![]() Amy picked me the Darling Ranges pattern, some monochrome slinky viscose and some pretty pearl buttons.Īs I mentioned, the fit of the Darling Ranges was pretty great on me out of the packet. And yup, safe to say I pretty much love this dress. We decided to do Sew Bossy together because we have pretty similar taste in fabrics and projects. You have the lovely Amy of Almond Rock to blame, because we did a Sew Bossy swap and this dress is the result of my lovely swap package. ![]() Sorry, back to buttony dresses after a brief diversion! This was actually the very first one I made, which kickstarted my little obsession. ![]()
