SPC – Dress One

Hello Darlings!

If you haven’t jumped on board for the Spring/Summer Palette Challenge, it’s not too late! Speaking of Palette Challenge, if you checked out the Colette blog today, you may have noticed a familiar image. (Spoiler alert, it’s my mood board! I’m so honored!)

Anywho, here is a quick peek of the first dress that I’ve completed for the challenge.

It’s Simplicity Pattern #0345 for Project Runway, (this is the old packaging of the same pattern) with another custom belt by me. I sense a belt tutorial coming up soon! ;)

I took all of the photos for the belt tutorial earlier today, but I still need to piece them all together with the instructions, so hang tight! Sooooon!

    Woweeeeeeeee!  What an awesome dress – it is totally fab & I love the use of rick rack (I would say that wouldn’t I?!)
    Thanks for leaving me a comment, it is so lovely to visit your blog, I’m really enjoying your styling :-)

    The belt definitely makes the dress. It is so wide but so amazingly awesome!

    Could you be any more talented or lovely?! I think not!

    so cute! Your version is a million times better than the ones on the packaging!

    WOW that was fast!! Congrats on having your palette chosen to be featured! And I love that belt too – you truly are the Belt Master :D

      Thank you! I do love this belt, but the back side of it is SO messy! I used crazy thick interfacing and therefore couldn’t sew it inside out and flip it to the right side. You’ll see. But I almost want to make another one cuz I’m kinda embarrassed of this one haha. It was definitely a learning experience with the interfacing. You better hold off on the belt master title ;)

    SO cute! You are so quick, already completing projects for the challenge!

      I’m totally stalling on craft fair sewing which is soooo bad of me. But I can’t help it! All I want to do is make dresses!! Haha :)

    CUTE! I love navy & red so much.

    • Rochelle New April 19, 2012 at 8:01 pm #

      Thanks! I do feel it’s a pretty classy combo :)

    Adorable! I love pairing navy with red. I so need this pattern. Every dress I’ve seen in this pattern looks completely different from the other. 

    • Rochelle New April 19, 2012 at 1:11 pm #

      Thanks :)  
      Yeah there are a TON of options for this dress! Sleeves, no sleeves, collar, no collar, or sleeves AND the collar etc. It’s a great pattern.

    Love it! You are a natural. =)

    Eee! This is so perfect for summer. The color combination makes it seem like you should be frolicking around on a sailboat or doing something equally summer-y and glamourous. I love your palette and can’t wait to see more SPC-garments!

    • Rochelle New April 19, 2012 at 8:03 pm #

      I would love to be frolicking around on a sailboat! …I need to make some friends with sailboats :) I’d love to have a whole closet full of handmade dresses by the end of summer. We’ll see! 

  19. Caitlin A. April 18, 2012 at 11:27 pm #

    So, this is going to be included in your care package to me, right? ;)

    • Rochelle New April 19, 2012 at 12:44 am #

      Once I’m done with this craft fair, I would love to start making dresses for people! It would be hard to ensure a perfect fit if you couldn’t be here to try it on, but it was a really simple dress to make AND it has pockets! Score. 

      • Caitlin A. April 19, 2012 at 12:46 am #

        Hehe I was totally kidding! I just loved it so much :) but it looks so perfect on you, it’s amazing!
