Honeybourne Dress (Ahead of the Curve)

[annieeg]

Hi,
I promised @Elnnina that I would post a picture of the Honeybourne dress from Ahead of the Curve (Jenny Rushmore book).  I'm sorry its a bit blurry (my hands shake) but I think you can see the general shape. 
Its a nice fitted top with gathered skirt.  I substantially reduced the gathering from the pattern because the skirt was too full for my taste, and I made it in viscose (Immanuels, by way of a change ).  It drapes well and is comfortable to wear.  I like the fit, if only because its a change from too much volume.
I'm pleased with this and will make it again.
Apologies again for the poor quality of the photo but hopefully its better than nothing...

Thanks annieeg for posting that photo, it does look like a nice shape to the dress.  Needless to say I haven't done anything more with that book and the patterns, as other things rather got in the way and even now my time sewing is quite limited as I have my daughter's house and contents to sort out and believe me that is in quite a mess.  However I hope I shall get around to delving into this book and the patterns later this year.  In the meantime enjoy wearing your dress - it looks like a lovely pattern and the colour and design of the fabric looks nice too.
