Emily, #WellieWishers Camille, was looking through the JC Penney holiday ad and noticed a dress in the ad she wanted. The dress had a sheer yoke, fitted bodice and circle skirt.
Using my skills from #LibertyJaneClothing Pattern Academy, I set out to draft the pattern for her. After a couple muslin tests, I reached the look Emily wanted.
I cut the yoke out of a red chiffon. The rest of the dress is cut from the snowflake fabric. The yoke was stitched to the bodice pieces, both the fabric and the lining pieces. Then the lining was stitched to the bodice at the neckline and armholes. Using a safety pin on each bottom of the back lining piece, the bodice was turned right side out.
The skirt was a quarter circle cut on the fold. The skirt was slightly gathered to the bodice then hemmed.
Emily finished the look out with a red ribbon headband, silver ribbon belt, red shoes and white tights.
