I made this dress during the summer, but never quite had the chance to take photos with it. I found this amazing fabric in Joanns a few years ago – it is a deep indigo rayon with thick Sashiko threads running through it. Indigo is not really the kind of color I wear, but this 100% rayon fabric was thick and drapery and I love the texture, I couldn’t resist!
When my butterfly dress broke in the washer and became really too big for me, I wanted to remake the dress with this fabric. But I had a really hard time deciding which side of fabric I should use. In the end, I decided to cut the skirt part in a way that shows off both sides 🙂
I love wearing this dress, even though the cut on the chest area is not the most… enhancing 😉 The fabric is so luxurious and supple, it makes me realize I should really shop in person at Joanns more – sometimes they can have amazing apparel fabric! I would have never picked this during online shopping.
I’ve been pretty bad at blogging this year 😛 You can follow me on instagram! I try to post sewing progress & handmade outfit there… but sometimes the girls are just too cute i cant resist! I still have a few more projects to post to catch up!
Happy new year everything! Thank you for following my little adventure in sewing!

Love, LOVE! Especially the skirt. You know, you can never beat shopping personally. Maybe we can make a trip to a Joanns store when I’m in town!
