Being laid up with a bad knee this week has given me some unexpected sewing time, so I've made myself a nice new frock. This is Vogue 8787 and I've made view D. I've had the pattern some time and made a different view so there wasn't too much work in fitting it.
The fabric is a printed cotton lawn that I bought a couple of summers ago at Joanne's in Bournemouth. I can't recall the price but it can't have been too expensive if I bought it! I bought 2 metres and only used 1.6 for this dress, so I have enough left over to trim a Stylearc top that I want to make next.
I had a mishap with the lining earlier today and burned a hole in it - curses! I made a repair on it rather than cut out and replace a whole new piece, and I've put a thread on this in the tutorials section, along with a handy hint for invisible zips in dresses with a waist seam.
Without further ado, here's the finished frock.
