I hope everyone has had a lovely weekend! I sure did with the temps going all the way up into the 50's. Still not quite warm enough for me, but I'll take it anyway! So, here is the dress I made! I obviously got my inspiration from the vintage dress I lost on Ebay a couple weeks ago. This is only the second dress I have ever made, and I made it without a pattern so it was quite the challenge. I'm very happy with it though! It doesn't have pockets like the other dress, but I think I'll add those later. Take care!
PS: If you look closely you can see the few feet on snow we still have on the ground here. Thats why I can't venture off the porch just yet. :o)

it is an amazing dress. I wish I was as talented as you are.
Made...wow that wonderful! The dress looks great.
Great job! It looks so wonderful. I love the small stripes.
Its so pretty...good for you. I made my first last year, but need to learn how to use my sewing machine so I don't have to sew by hand. You look really pretty!
Wow that is amazing! You did a really great job, the details are perfect! It really suits you, you look pretty as a picture.
Hopefully the weather will warm up a bit so you can wear it out in the sunshine!
Hope you've had a good weekend :)
P.S I just saw the dress you were inspired by in the other post, and think the one you made is much prettier :)
I love this dress you made!!! I really need to get on making stuf with my sewing machine!
That is beautiful! You are an extremely talented seamstress.

Well done, girl!
oh my gosh that is so cute! i can't believe you made that! it totally suits you. :)
Absolutely beautiful! I am so impressed that this is only the second dress you've ever made--you've got a lot of talent! :)
I can't believe you made that yourself! The first time that I saw the dress, I thought it was actually really vintage. And that without a pattern. That must be pretty hard. But you did an amazing job! I even think the dress you made is prettier then the actual dress.
You did a really good job with that dress! I love it.
Lovely dress! And only the second you've ever made?! Wow :) Great job, it really suits you! :)
Ooh, well done! It looks great!
I like yours even more!
You made that without a pattern? It's perfect!!! If I had your sewing skills I wouldn't bother buying vintage dresses off of Ebay--I'd just re-create them on my sewing machine. :)
Nice job!
Oh, that's such a cute dress! I love the little lovely bow on it. It has such a spring-summer like feel to it, even if it works perfectly well while waiting for that time too :)
Wow, it's really beautiful. I can't believe it's only the second dress ever you made since it looks so great!
It's surely going to be a great dress for summer!
so beautiful! great job. you are so pretty!
It's ace. Such a sweet shade of blue. I think the pockets would make a good addition though.
that's fantastic! i have no sewing talent whatsoever :(
what an adorable dress! especially because you made it yourself... im impressed! xx
i meant to tell you how wonderful this dress is when I first saw this post! i can't believe you made it without a pattern!!!!! that would have taken me months and months and months and come out all crooked. great job!
That dress is absolutely adorable!
Thank you all so much!
Rhiannon:Yup I made it without a pattern. I measured everything before, then used chalk to mark the fabric. For the skirt I used a vintage dress with a skirt I liked and measured out the fabric from that. Takes lots of focus. Take Care!
Stunning dress!
you are truly talented, my dear! love the dress...

i do also have to live with snow a bit longer, though here it's 1 meter tall!... awful!
You should post a pattern for this dress on Burda Style! I want that dress in every colour!
This is beautiful! I believe you really wanted this dress to do it yourself. In french we say "on n'est jamais mieux servi que par soi-même", it means : the best thing is the one you do yourself (excuse my english...). Well this is true! You really did a great job ;)
Rock it Lady! Mission accomplished.
this is so awesome!!! i love the bow! how did you do it???
You are so absolutely adorable!
And boy, do I know your pain! I do the EXACT same thing on eBay. I wish I could make a dress too, to satisfy that feeling of loosing my dream dress! :(
i'm in aw. i've had my sewing machine collecting dust. so sad. i'm scared even to thread a bobbin. i need to start small projects and work myself up to making a dress on my own. i LOVE that you whipped up a dress without a pattern to follow! you are my hero!
ps-bought a 60's red swing coat and only wish i could be wearing it now. 80 degrees isn't coat-appropriate weather.
