Summer Sewing Challenge - Express Yourself in Linen

Red/Black Linen Sheath Dress

I developed the pattern for this dress using PatternMaster Boutique, using the “double princess sheath” style, and then modified the pattern for better fit, using the CAD program (Pattern Editor) included with PMB.  The linen fabric is underlined with silk organza to minimize wrinkling, and the dress is fully lined with Bemberg.

    Oh my goodness, this is gorgeous! Great work!!
    I`m brand new here and I have no idea even how to use my sewing machine yet, (I need someone to teach me)but I love the idea of sewing and have tons of patterns so I can start making things for my 3 year old daughter.
    What a great inspiration this is!

    It is really beautiful, I have the PMB also and have designed quite a few items with it. Great work.

    A really lovely fit on this dress. Very nice job. Where did you find the linen?

    Great design and fit. I can't see the dart control but I can see the beautiful fabric/color choice which is awesome. BUT the most impressive in your attention to detail in matching your plaids. Fantastic job. If you do not teach you should and teach plaid matching and dart control. You have a great talent. Thank you for sharing.

    The fit is spectacular. Congratulations.

    What a superb job you have done! Your fabric would be a very difficult one to work with due to all the lines that have to match up perfectly........which you have done.
    Absolutely beautiful!

    THis is absolutely stunning. Your attention to matching up the horizontal stripes and the proportions of the vertical stripes is just boggling. How on earth did you manage all the matching? How long did it take to construct? You have made an absolutely beautiful job and it suits you very well.

    EVERY SINGLE DETAIL (the matching of the plaids, the attention to detail, the style and the FIT) are PERFECTAMUNDO -- no small feat! :O)
