i’ve been wanting and looking for a sailor inspired dress for awhile so when i saw
this girl turn a thrift dress into this(red dress on the left) i decided to just make one myself.
so using inspirations from these pictures i collected, i made one.

my goodness, i think the last time i made a dress from scratch was my sewing class in jr.high.
i just made up the pattern for the dress since i couldn’t find a pattern i wanted
and it was my first time sewing an invisible zipper. the zipper didn’t work out so smoothly
and that is why there are no pictures of the dress from the back haha.

Great job! It looks darling.
I've had the last dress in the block saved in my "make for me" folder forever. Maybe it's a sign. lol

I LOVE this! What a cute idea…I can't believe you just made up the pattern! I'd totally try something like this but I'm way too impatient to do sleeves ๐

I want one!
Studio Carolina says
Soooooo cute and especially adorable on you.
I have been sewing for more years than I care to think about and haven't mastered an invisible zipper yet. I do not even try anymore……….just keep using the regular zips.
Jennifer says
I just LOVE your dress! It's so cute and I can't believe you designed the pattern!

I had to delurk to tell you how cute that dress is. And it's funny, but I pinned Sarah's red dress to my Pinterest. Are you on Pinterest? Think of the inspiration you'd find there.

Wow – I LOVE your sailor dress! It's absolutely darling. And you came up with your own pattern?! I've figured out how to wing it with a skirt, but a dress?? Not sure I could do it. You are so talented – I LOVE how it turned out!

It turned out gorgeous!! You should totally use this pattern with different colllars too. ๐ Love the contrasting blue on the skirt. I'm sure your zipper looks better than mine would. ๐
