For my aunt’s 50th birthday, she requested that the ladies sport something pink. I had seen this amazing Jacquard at Fabricland a few weeks prior and was looking for any excuse to buy it. It looked so stunning on the table! But it was a tad expensive. Womp womp.
So when the invite came around, I had no choice but to get it. Obviously.
The bodice is based off of Simplicity 1873, and the skirt is a good ol’ rectangle that I pleated.
Originally, I had no intention of adding a belt to the dress, but it was a last minute decision. I sort of just guessed how to make it as I was doing it…but it turned out pretty good, me thinks!
I also did a blind stitch for the hem. Here’s a quick tutorial detailing how to do it:
