This is made from the same pattern as my last top, but at full length. This version has lovely deep pockets, and a sweet A-line shape which I adore.
There's still nor much sign of summer warmth here in London, so it will be a while before I can wear it without a pashmina around my shoulders and leggings and a jersey top underneath.
*A special Thank You to my friend Kristina, for so generously giving me the fabric, which is a really calming Amy Butler print from a few years back. I am delighted to find it matches my favourite blue pashmina so perfectly! xx*
Really cute! I like the neckline particularly. It looks like it works well with shirts under it or alone.
ReplyDeleteIt looks gorgeous with the pashmina - and suits you perfectly. I'm going to have a to make a muslin for that one before I cut into real fabric - I have a feeling it might not suit me ...
ReplyDeleteOh, I LOVE this one. Perhaps I should make this my next foray into dress-making? Will hound you for deets next time I see you!
ReplyDeleteOh I love it with the pashmina and leggings--the perfect outfit for this in-between weather! K x
ReplyDeleteCurrently I'm in a summer skirt with leggings and - oh god - a fleece on top. (I am inside.) What on earth is going on with this Spring?
ReplyDeleteOh you clever, clever lady - I wish I could sew, your dress and the red/blue top are amazing! xx
ReplyDeleteIt's a lovely top. Somehow those pinafore always evoke calmness and independent-mindedness.
ReplyDeleteI am so happy that fashion allows us to wear all these layers underneath summer clothes. At least we can pretend that summer is on its way...
