Have you ever had a sewing project that was just flat out relaxing? I mean it just made you mellow? Well that’s what it was like for me making Vogue V1250. This was an easy and quick sew.
For this summer, I wanted a little black dress that would be cool, sophisticated and elegant. This pattern definitely fits the bill and I must say I’m very please with the end results.
Project Stats:
1. Fabric : Black Rayon Jersey – Fashion Fabric Club
2. Pattern Sizing: I made a a size 20
3. Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: Full Bust Adjustment, Sway Back Adjustment and added 1 inch to the hip area.
4. Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope
once you were done sewing with it? Yes
5. Were the instructions easy to follow? Yes,pattern instruction were very easy to follow.
6. What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? I love this pattern
7. Would you sew it again? Definitely will be making it again. I’m thinking about it in a red silk jersey or a black stretch velvet for the hoilidays.
Until next time……..keep sewing

This looks great on you!!! I was thinking about doing a black version too! I did a red version and was considering a print version as well. I don't know if I want 3 although they are sooo easy to make.
Hey Renee – You look fabulous! You know this is one of my favorite patterns of 2011. And yeah, you work it. Great job!
I have just found your blog and LOVE this dress on you. It is so flattering and very ooh la la!!!! I really must get this pattern it seems to look good on a lot of different bodies.
I made this exact dress and I must have done a bunch of things wrong because it does not look good on me like to does on you
I too want to tell you how fabulous you look and how you are encouraging me to make this one more time (that would be my 5th version!) in a black knit!

Hi Ola,
Thanks for your comment and stopping by. Actually I did not do a FBA on this dress. Although I will do one on the next one.
