Roxy is a simple, princess cut, A-line dress. I had a few fabrics that coordinated well, but needed lots of space or busyness would take over. This was a great pattern for the fabric. I traced a size 9/10 but did not add a seam allowance. Going up a size and not adding a seam allowance on the European patterns has been a good trick for my tall skinny girl.
The directions for this pattern are few, unless you look them up on the internet. I just put the pieces together and added a bias trim for the neckline and ruffle for the hem. I used an invisible zipper in the back to make it even faster and easier. This dress was made 100% on the sewing machine.

Now, I am off to four days of sewing class bliss at the American Sewing Guild's National Convention.
Happy Sewing!
Four days of sewing... glorious!
ReplyDeleteIs that a ribbon at the waistline? Perfect place to put some smocking. I sneak smocking in wearever I can. Darling dress, love pink and green together. I'be been on vacation all this week. Yay, time for sewing and smocking.
ReplyDeleteI love the fabric combination. The English translation on the Farbenmix site is funny sometimes. I've been looking at a coat pattern for myself at Farbenmix debating whether or not there is enough info for me to go on to make it! I love this dress; thanks for posting it! I think I'll have to buy this pattern now. :)
