The two fabrics used in this dress are souvenirs from fabric shopping in Paris with Felicity last year.
The pattern is BurdaStyle 07/2011 #131 in a size 44 with the cap sleeves swapped out for regular sleeves from BurdaStyle 10/2012 #118
I moved the neckline up a few cm, and used my stipey square fabric on the bias for the side front panels.
The handsome Mr Bingley (Nonsuch‘s sewing assistant) helped me place the pattern pieces just right.
Other changes were a centre back zip and slits on the side seams.
I didn’t have a long enough zip, so I added a button and loop at the back neck.

This dress pattern now will enjoy a break! After 5 versions I think I need to try something else…
Love the fabric combos here. Did you see my latest wax-print Edwardian get up?

I have an op-art version planned for summer…
Oh that outfit is so cool. For some reason you’ve fallen off my reader. Going to fix that right now!
You’ve married up this fabric and pattern so well. Eye catching and original.
Thanks. It’s not a dress to wear when I want to blend in, but I love it anyway.
Every version of this pattern you’ve made look good and fit so well. I’m going to have to trace it off and give it a go. Love the combination of prints in this dress.
Thanks. I really do love this pattern!
Amazing combination of fabrics and style! Lovely!
Thank you
This fabric is fabulous! And your dress is outstanding. Cute cat too!
Cute but so fluffy. Cat hair on my sewing for days!
Yes, I have the same here!
so glad we went for the short-haired, low allergenic cat!!
Just as well he has the redeeming feature of being so handsome
Super dress, love how you have worked the fabric! It looks great on 😊
Thank you. It’s a fun dress to wear.
Great use of the prints. Looks fabulous!
Thank you
I really like the look of this with the longer sleeves. The prints are great too.
I like the longer sleeves too. Full length might be next. Not finished with this pattern yet!
Looks as though your cats help paid off!
Very handsome animal.
Handsome indeed. He is very appropriately named mr bingley by my literary friend. Unfortunately not my cat though. This was a fun sewing day away from home.
