Fabric used: Cotton voile, in orange floral
Pattern notes: I made this pattern 3x already and won’t be reviewing it thoroughly. These are my notes that are particular for this version. I ran out of fabric for the skirt part and had to go back to the fabric store for 1 yard of fabric. Lesson learned! Don’t skimp when buying fabric just because you can save $7. This project took twice as long because of that. I inserted an invisible side zipper that took twice as long because I was watching Angel and not paying attention. However mishaps aside, this is my favorite version of this pattern so far.
Great dress. I love the colors on you and it’s obvious you’ve conquered your fit! Kudos.
Yet another beautifully made 1940s DuBarry dress…I truly love your DuBarry patterns!
That’s so cute! Great pattern and lovely fabric.
Very pretty. The colours look gorgeous on you.
This is a beautiful dress! I especially like it paired with the coral cardigan, but it looks great on its own, as well. Thank you for the inspiration!
Thank you everyone! I’m such a DuBarry fangirl.
