July Reversible Dress

Wowza!

As an effort to use up more of the fabric I have; I am trying to do lining in each of the dresses when I can. This lining fabric is leftover from my September Violet Joie De Vivre Dress. The red contrast is from my April Fire-Engine Culotte Dress/Jumpsuit. Such a shame if it were to sit there for too long!

A reasonably simple design but after making it essentially twice, it was quite a lot of dress. 

I like alternating how the dress comes together; whether it's held together with a zip or buttons, and this one has elastic in the middle. It's quite large without the belt so I think I might have needed to bring it in more but it really needs the belt anyway for the whole outfit to work. 

Super fresh with these colours though; I really like the contrast pieces. It makes it all pop!

Please enjoy my crooked photos. 

Materials: Emerald blue sheet from Bellara Animal Welfare ($5.00), purple lining fabric from Sumner Park St Vinnies ($4), red sheet from Ipswich St Vinnies (approx $1), elastic donated by Pat, interfacing from Keperra Lifeline (25c), sewing pattern from East Ipswich Lifeline (20c), buttons from assortment (free).
Cost to make: approx $8.45

    I live in Brisbane and love dresses of all shapes and sizes. I have such an addiction to dresses that at one point my collection was over 250. Now to quench my thirst I make them myself.
