This dress, a Maggie London from Butterick, was hands down the easiest dress I've ever made. Four pieces, no sleeves to set, no gathers, just a little twist and some seams through the underbust and up the sides and you've got a dress. A great fitting dress. I was surprised and impressed.


I made this one out of an ITY knit from Denver Fabrics that I've had in my stash for about a year. Great pattern for a material like this. Especially in a print where you don't need to worry about matching the pattern. The only thing I would do differently if I made this again would be to leave out the center back seam and cut on a fold. Its an unnecessary seem.
My mother is a fantastic seamstress as well.
ReplyDeleteI can appreciate that. My mom, as well as many of the women in my family are all wonderful garment makers. Me, I have a lot to learn. :)
