Here it is! Georgia's new dress, it's another version of pattern Simplicity 2444 made up in our striking Italian printed ponti knit 'Arrowhead Rainbow - Ponti' (sold out). This time Georgia sewed the darts further leaving just a small pleat at the top as well as adding self binding to the neckline and eliminating the back zip as the ponti knit has sufficient stretch to pull on without an opening! For an ideal winter dress three quarter sleeves were added, with an inverted pleat added to the sleeve head (instead of soft gathers as per pattern) as well as a cuff detail to the hem!

ReplyDeleteThis looks sensational - the fabric and the simple dress - terrific combination
ReplyDeleteLove this dress! Shame that the fabric is sold out!
ReplyDeleteI wish there was more of that fabric!!
ReplyDeleteThis dress looks amazing!
ReplyDeleteSuch simple lines make the gorgeous fabric print pop out! I wonder which size was used because of the stretchy knit fabric?
This is such a cool dress! I love how the zig zags make the otherwise classic dress really stand out.
ReplyDeleteBeatiful! And the shoes are stunning.
