Time for Tea Dress
I don't even know what was happening with this photoshoot. What IS this??
Who knows. A chance to show off my new nerdy glasses? Or my favorite teacups?
OK, I know I know I know!!! So it's a Washi Dress made with Lizzy House fabric and a peter pan collar, on a grumpy hostess!
Please note: The pattern previously known as “Washi” has been renamed “Trillium.” Read about the name change here. It’s the same lovely pattern, just with a new name!
At any rate you can plainly see I'm a weirdo. And I think I have a new bio pic (Yay! That other one was 3 years old).I have no idea where I plan to go with this collar, if anywhere, but I just find this dress so ridiculously adorbsible, I had to post it. I've put up a couple of links on the Washi page in the "Resources" section on how to draft a peter pan collar, should you absolutely need to make one like right now.Oh! and the back was done with an elastic casing instead of shirring. I cut my back bodice lining 1/2" below the lowest shirring line and folded it under to form an elastic casing, then threaded 1/4" wide elastic through:
Kindof a nice look, eh? I find it a nice change from the rows of shirring. Much like Rachel's Washi that I love so much.
My video tutorial series on lining the bodice and links to tutorials on how to draft a peter pan collar can be found via the Washi page.
