The Road to a #MeMade Wardrobe:  Vogue 1633

V1633-5.jpg

I wanted this pattern not only because it’s beautiful, but because I love warm colors and the sample garment on the cover was made in a great pumpkin color.  I decided before I made it to the register that I would make this in a delicious knit to wear to Friendsgiving dinner. Please note, at that moment I had zero Friendsgiving plans.

Pattern: MISSES' DRESS

Fabric: Riveria Stripe - ML260075 - Orange / Green / Red / Multi from Michael Levine

Style: Rushed Flounce Dress

Vintage/Contemporary:  Contemporary

Pattern Edits:

1. The arm cuffs were supposed to have a vent and buttons but I wanted them to hang down on my hands a bit and not be so fitted, so I just eliminated the buttons.

Lessons Learned:

1. Sweater knits are a bit of a nightmare.  I have to be careful what stitches and threads I’m using when working with such a spongey fabric.
