Mission Maxi Minus the Color

 Last night I put together my first Jamie Christina Mission Maxi Dress and I'm so excited about it!

Inspired by the tie dye Mission Maxi on True Bias, my cousin Liz and I decided to make our maxis in white jersey. I'm planning on tie dyeing mine in black and gray, while Liz is going to ombre dye hers blue. 

I haven't worked with jersey much before, so this isn't quite my best work. That stuff is tricky to cut out and to sew! But I think the flaws that I notice will become less clear once the dress is tie dyed.

Now that mine is done, I have to put together the second one for Liz without the godet. And then on to dye fun time!

  10. I love the godet on that pattern. I have a TNT Kwik Sew maxi pattern, but I wear them enough that I should probably have a few different styles.

    I think your dress looks great - I'm excited to see the dyed version.

  11. It looks really good! I'm planning on dyeing a skirt, but I'm a bit scared to ruin it. Does anyone know is the color washable?
