Jen from Grainline recently released her Kat Colorblock Dress Pattern, which as you may remember, I purchased straight away!
My Kat is made from natural cotton which I tie dyed with two shades of blue and pearl gray before cutting out my pattern pieces.
This was my first try at using boning in a bodice, and guess what? It's super easy! And it makes your garment look very well made in the end. I also used french seams for neatness, an invisible zip up the back, and strips of lace ribbon on the inside of the bodice for hanging it up.
I highly recommend this pattern. It is well written, easy to follow, and leaves you with a fancy dress to add to your collection. It even made my tie dye look fancy! I had a really fun time making this dress.

The photos were taken at the beach in Half Moon Bay by Bennett. Big thanks to him for taking the photos and editing them as well!

ReplyDeleteI love it! This is so cute! To tell you the truth, I don't really like colorblock, so I wasn't immediately drawn to the pattern, but this is such a nice spin on it!
ReplyDeleteThis is so lovely. The dye reminds me of the sky. I saw your lovely work in the Burda Style book. Congrats! Before I started blogging this past year, I was on your site obsessively, looking at the beautiful things you make:) Yours was one of a few blogs that initially inspired me to start my own.
