Mini Dress.

My latest sewing projects have been some fun little dresses using Amy Butler's Mini Dress Tunic & Tops pattern. Here is my review :)

For some reason I kind of felt like the girl on Enchanted making them, especially during ironing. (you know, singing and making dresses out of curtains and such.) It's really fun seeing a dress or project come together, it makes me want to sing!

This dress is not a maternity dress. But it works very nicely as one too. I just made it in my regular size and because the front has some pretty folding it can expand.

This pattern was fairly easy to follow. I didn't make any real changes except in the length. Originally I wanted to make the "long top length" but I cut it out in the "tunic length" so I could have some control over the exact length when I hemmed.

I"m glad I did because I think the long top would have been a bit awkward of a length on me.

Here it is in the tunic length. I think it will be fun this summer with some capris:


The first time I used this pattern I made it in the dress length + 4 inches. (Again knowing I could hem it as much as I liked in the end.) The longer length turned out to be perfect! This dress is a favorite of mine now!


So there it is. I have some more fun fabric waiting for projects. I'm debating whether I should make another of this top or try something new? hmmm...
