June Sheath Dress by Style Arc

Yes, I made a dress - from Kaffe Fassett fabrics of course!


I like to wear 100% cotton dresses in summer, but they're getting harder and harder to find in the shops.  So I decided I would just have to make some dresses myself.    

I used the Style Arc June Sheath Dress pattern with a few modifications around the neck line.  I cut the neck line lower, based on a dress I already have.  


I'm really pleased with how it turned out and I'm looking forward to wearing it soon. 

Update: Yes, it's regular quilting Kaffe Fassett quilting cotton. 

I bought the PDF version of the pattern and got Karina at Studio of Sewing in Auckland to print it on to sturdy A0 paper for me.   I can now reuse the pattern again and again.  


Now it's time for the Peacock Party.  Feel free to link up a recent blog post below.

Pretty dress, love the colors and simple design. I agree it is difficult to find cotton dresses in shops nowadays. Are you using quilting cotton?
