My latest Washi dress... numero 3!
See my little peek-a-boo contrast fabric on the sleeve? I had originally wanted to make the sleeve fold up so that the contrast is more visible, but given my buff arms (don't be jelly) I need to alter the sleeve in order to do so properly.
Next time...
*darn!*
I guess I have to make another one.
I'm in love with the piping detail and the skirt band.
Oh my gosh, have you seen Rae's collar tie on her latest Washi?!
Prerequisite for next dress:
1. folded cap sleeve
2. tie collar
MUST.MAKE.MORE.

Have a lovely Monday, folks!

oh my goodness this dress is perfection!! I love the color combo! And, the piping and band at the bottom are fab!
ReplyDeleteThank you! :) This is my fave color combo at the moment. We'll see how the dresses hold up by the end of the summer because I'll be wearing these over and over again.
Deletelovelovelove!
ReplyDeleteThank you-thank you-thank you!!! ;)
DeleteWhoa...yes, yes, Venus! more washi dress please... you looked gorgeous! just recently I posted photo of orange in blue color lunch box and how I like the color combo. I'm drooling to see your washi dresses :)
ReplyDeleteAwww, thanks Yeka! Speaking of gorgeous... hello, your mandarin blouse is beautiful! Yes, I saw the lunch box and I immediately thought to myself, "cool colors!" So when are you going to make your washi???
DeleteHaha...but I never seen washi dress in "Yeka's size", you know what I meant, I'm flat and not get used to wear low cut collar/neckline. So, to answer your question...hmmm... shall I draft my own washi? :)
DeleteYour Washis just make me happy. Is that a funny thing to say about other people's sewing projects? :) Out of the park with this one again! -Rachel
ReplyDeleteI'm SO happy your happy!!! Nah, I don't think it's weird, I do it all the time.
DeleteYou are absolutely right when you say this pattern was made for you! All three of your washi's are pure perfection, you totally rock them!! I think out of all I've seen in the Flickr pool, yours are the best in fit and fabric choices, you make me so tempted to buy this pattern...
ReplyDeleteThank you, Nancy! I know, right?! Rae didn't have to go through all that trouble just to make a dress for me. LOL. Honestly, it's a really great pattern. You have to get it... you won't regret it. I think I even saw "Nancy's size" on the size chart. *wink*
DeleteYou are the master of pattern combos, Venus! You gorgeous woman you - love all your washis! (Sorry if this is a duplicate comment - tried to leave one earlier and maybe it didn't go through?)
ReplyDeleteThanks Sanae! I can't just get enough of this dress. :)
DeleteI am loving this washi version so so much! The colors are so great. And ahhhh that piping!
ReplyDeleteI think the piping was the cherry on top, no? It was pure luck I had piping in the exact color of the orange in the chevron fabric. Thanks Erin!
Deleteawesome. i just love the washi dress pattern. im gonna thry a version like yours soo. so cute!
ReplyDeleteYAY! Please do!
DeleteThis colour combination is just perfect, and the dress fits you so beautifully! I will really need to give this pattern a try.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Kathryn! This is a great pattern... I can'y say enough good things about it. You have to try it!
Deleteoh man this one is stunning!! well done on the contrast and piping!! I wonder if there is a Jennifer size? Did you make a muslin first? I don't remember if you said. I need to move you to "people I know" on my blog because I never see you in my blog feed (there are just too many blogs in there) so I never know you post new stuff.
ReplyDeleteJennifer!!! I missed you! Ha-ha... look closely, I think there is a Jennifer size! ;)
DeleteThis is so utterly gorgeous... That combo is insanely beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Clare!
DeleteI made a washi too recently and i loved it so much i made another one! its gotta be up there in the top 10 of best patterns i reckon!
ReplyDeleteRight?!
DeleteOh my! I only just noticed this dress over at Sewpony's blog. What a gorgeous dress, and what an amazing color combination! Perfection!
ReplyDeleteWow I really love this dress! Do you mind sharing what the blue fabric is or where you got it?
ReplyDeleteHi Aimee! I got the fabric here: http://www.fabricworm.com/jadeforbifam93.html
DeleteIt's gorgeous fabric... after a few washings it's super soft.
Thanks a bunch! :)
DeleteThis is so freaking awesome. And it makes me want to make my next washi reversible!
ReplyDeleteI have googled many washi dresses for inspiration and yours is the best one I've seen. I love the use of different fabrics and the piping! Awesome!
