Up first we have Simplicity 2187. While I loved wearing this, next time I'm going to wear it with a wide leather belt instead of this fabric belt and see if I like the way it looks on me. I THOUGHT I did, but seeing it now, uhhhhhhhhhhhh it doesn't look all that flattering. My boobs look huge and I look huge but uhhh ok. Only posting it because I made it and I love my fabric lol.
McCall's 5893. I love this pattern. Seriously. It's quick and easy and gets great results everytime. I bought this one again and one of the last sales because my original pattern is worn out and torn lol.
McCalls 6308. This one was super quick and easy. I wanted something simple (without making the above dress AGAIN lol) to showcase this gorgeous fabric I picked up a few months ago! I think this one did the job lol.
Alright, that's it on the sewing front for right now. I'm so inspired to sew for fall but it's too hot!! lol
Toodles!
These are great dresses and it looks like you had a geat time on vacation.

I am loving the maxi dress also! LOL ! You look great in all of your maxi! Great job!

All three maxis are doing their thang! I LOVE the way you used the border print. The first dress fabric is really cute. I did think you looked larger in the picture when I first saw it, but when I enlarged the image for a close up, you looked great. I think my chest looks large in some pictures, but in others (even when wearing the same outfit) it looks regular. Might just be the screen shot. I say "work it"! lol

Great dresses, the fabric in the last one is super gorgeous.

You look lovely, as always. I love the border print fabric. You're right about that first pic, before I read your comment I was wondering what sort of new magic bra you wear wearing! You don't look huge, just your boobs. I think a wide belt would show off your little waist.

They are all great. M6308 is my favorite. That print is stunning.

You really got a lot of sewing accomplished this summer!! All the dress looks wonderful.

Four great summer dresses. All show off your fabric and yourself so well. I think your pose in the first dress makes your chest look a little larger than it actually is (I mean that in the nicest possible way) but a wider belt might also break up the pattern of the dress a little more.

Those are some really pretty dresses!!! & your fabrics are goregous!!! I love the maxi dresses on you!... Wish I felt comfortable in them!

Adrienne,
Great dresses- I really like the maxis.
Quick question, did you use knit material on all three?
Posted by: Angie | August 27, 2011 at 10:30 PM
Great dresses and beautiful fabric. I too love that M5893, I've made it twice already, maybe I should buy a spare copy too while I can still get it. You continue to inspire me.

I love these dresses and easy to accessorize. I must admit when I looked at the picture first time (quickly) I thought it was your daughter. lol
