It occurred to me that all of the pieces that I've done for the Sew News collar posts have all been photographed on my dress form. I really do wear these garments, so over the next couple of weeks, I thought I would let you see me actually wearing them. First up is the wide variation of the shawl collar.
I was actually very happy with how the dress turned out.
This is Butterick 5678(just in case you've forgotten!!), lengthened into a dress. You can see the original post here,

And finally, a picture of me in the dress. I paired the dress with with a pair of very yellow patent leather sandals and a pair of yellow earrings that I've had for longer than I am going to tell you :)
A view of the back.
It has been a favorite dress this summer. I can throw this dress on and in a matter of minutes, I can look presentable:) A shirt dress is such a wonderful piece to have in your wardrobe, especially once as easy to wear as this one is.
Looks great and perfect for summer.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous dress. Love that colour. Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteMagnificent! This dress is original, fresh, innovative, creative and look it produces happiness .... Like you, dear Rhonda!
ReplyDeleteReally really cute, Rhonda. I love that contrast edging!
ReplyDeleteRhonda, this is the first I've seen this lovely dress. Cute, flattering, cheery, and (looks) comfortable. Great accessorizing, too.
ReplyDeleteYou are right, a shirtdress is such a good way of saying "dressed". The colour of that dress looks wonderful on you - and I love the contrasting piping and buttons. Yellow shoes add to the zing of the whole thing :)
ReplyDeletePretty dress with a perfect fit!
ReplyDeleteRhonda, I just love the detail in this dress. So summery and cute.
ReplyDeleteYou look very polished in your dress. I love the yellow shoes.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful dress! I liked it on the dressform, but it's even better on you. I love the trim with matching buttons.
ReplyDeleteIt looks wonderful, Rhonda. Great details beautifully worked!
ReplyDeletePretty dress and that is not your standard shirt dress.. love the details of the collar and trim.
ReplyDeleteLove the shoes! Great dress, beautifully fitted. I'm always worried that shirt waisters will gap when I sit down.
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty dress. I especially love the piping & trim.
