A Summer Darling Ranges Dress

Posted by   on   in , ,   / 6 comments 



I have been planning another Megan Nielsen Darling Ranges dress since I finished the last one in April, and finally, it has been sewn!


I used fabric that my Mum and Dad brought back from America last summer. I wasn't sure if it would just be too loud for a dress but used it anyway and I am glad I did, I love it!


I cut a straight medium again and, apart from a sneaky safety pin between the top two buttons it fits really well. I had enough fabric this time to make it the correct length, perfect for bare legs and sandals (which I froze in...)


I used glass buttons from my Grandma's button box, I couldn't decide on a colour of button so clear it was! I am slightly nervous about them though, I am good at smashing things...

Hopefully we get some warmer weather here soon so I can maybe wear it without turning blue :)


On a totally random note, look how much the garden has grown in 3 months!!

    Wishing for some warm weather for you. Although your garden definitely thinks it summer! Fabulous dress, it really suits your figure. And the fabric is smashing. Well done.

    This looks lovely and it fits you perfectly. I do keep meaning to get to this pattern at some point. I really love the simple shape of it.
