i told you in my older post how i found the same fabric that anthropologie used
for the gathered hemlock dress? well, i got the fabric and couldn’t wait to make it!
anthropologie gathered hemlock dress
my version of the dress
i made mine slightly different, the sleeves are just plain and not gathered like anthro and a little shorter, and instead of the neckline being a boatneck top, i made mine a cowlneck. the tulip skirt of mine is not as gathered because i wanted the focal point to be the neckline, and that’s why i also left the sleeves plain, i didn’t want it to be too overwhelming with gathers everywhere.
and my favorite part? it’s actually a top and a skirt.ο»Ώ
so it’s more versatile and the possibilities are numerous!
i didn’t use a pattern, i roughly traced a tight shirt i had for the top, made the cowlneck the same way i made this top, and the bottom i just wrapped around me to measure and went with the flow.
You're so clever! I love that it's actually a skirt and top! SO much more versatile. The print of the fabric is gorgeous, too.
you are just too fabulous π
Wow, this is absolutely fantastic! Hats off to you!
you are truly talented
LOVE it! You did a fabulous job!
VERY VERY COOL!!!!I love the fabric!
gosh you are so talented!! I wish I could see a dress at anthro and go make it myself!! XO

SARAHAAAA!! I love you so much for doing this although it might take 10 times longer for me to make it, I will absolutely going to try making it!
You are talented and I really mean it! FYI It took my three days to make baby girl shirred tube top dress and you get the idea. haha
Awesome Job!!
Yours is STUNNING!!! I like it better than the anthropologie version. Your neckline is prettier. You are so clever to make yours into a skirt/top emsemble.
This looks amazing! I absolutely love that it is a shirt and skirt – it looks great all 3 ways!

Love the dress!!! Where do you buy your fabric? It looks like the exact same print as the anthropology dress. It is hard to find great knits. Suggestions???
@Lauren: Here is the link of my post. It tells you the site where I bought the fabric from. π
