Sleeveless dress

Hi!

You thought why she has made the sleeveless dress in this cold weather?

Because I wanted. - Actually while I was reading the sewing book of 'The Beginner's Guild to Dress Making' by Wendy Ward, I suddenly thought I wanted to make the sleeveless dress from her pattern!

 This book is very good for beginner's (obviously!) and so many sewing techniques you can learn.
But only one thing, her how to install the zip is not recommended.. Book shows it looks easy but I found it was not easy to follow her instruction.. I have found the better way from the instruction from Vogue pattern.
Apart from it, this book is soon good. I like to try to make a jacket.

Here is what I made:

Unfortunately the pattern was a little big for my body - I had to modify the pattern to fit my body size.
Now I created the sleeveless dress pattern by based on hers. :-) I don't know how to draw the pattern myself - so I need a good basic pattern! Thanks to Wendy Ward!

By the way, I quite like this fleece skirt. And I co-ordinate like below..

 It's looks fun!

Enjoy sewing,
Yasuko
