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.
Very cute
love love love!! I want it.
It's lovely! You are so talented!
Beautiful dress, I love it – it looks fun but also very elegant!
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
very cute! You look adorable in it 🙂
Gosh! Now i want to make one… tell me your secret!
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 🙂
Such cute sailor dresses (yours and your inspiration pictures). I love the look!
Ooh Sarah I love it. It turned out great! We still need to get together and have a sewing night. I have a few fun ideas!
I think your dress is cuter than any of the pictures.
i love it!! i want one! you did a really good job, i don't think i could make something like this from scratch.

That is such an adorable dress! And I'm impressed with making up the pattern yourself – I'm so not ready to try that yet!
Soooo! Pretty! Thanks for sharing!
I want one!
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.
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. 🙂 Love the contrasting blue on the skirt. I'm sure your zipper looks better than mine would. 🙂
ah this is amazing!! I cannot believe you did it without a pattern, actually I don't even know if I could do it with a pattern! I am going to feature it on handmade tuesdays 🙂 And of course, thanks so much for linking up to Handmade Tuesdays @ Ladybug Blessings http://www.ladybug-blessings.com
