It seems I'm obsessed with making frocks at the moment. This is the Swiss Cotton jacquard dress I started a couple of weeks ago now. I french-seamed the entire dress which was a fabulous learning experience... only problem is I didn't allow for the extra fabric this entails and it's now quite a bit too small for me to wear ;) If none of my friends want it I think I'll have a giveaway... stay tuned! There are many more creative spaces to be found at Kirsty's - visit Kootoyoo to see more or to play along yourself :)

It's gorgeous Kylie! You've done a superb job. Such a shame about the sizing but yes...a great learning experience.
How lovely! Really pretty :)
Another fantastic creation the dress is just gorgeous Kylie you are so lucky to be able to sew your own clothes x
ohh i love the neckline of this one!x
It looks gorgrous, what a shame about the sizing.
I just cut out a skirt & then realised I hadn't added the seam allowances (curse those vintage burda patterns!)
so pretty! love the sleeves and shape.
what a pity about it being too small after all your work.
xx
continue obsessing, your creations are gorgeous!
AAAARRRGGGHH! NOOOOOOOOOO! Any chance shrink wrap would help? Anything for a perfect dress, right?
Love the ruffle at the bottom. It's gorgeous!
What a darn shame - it's such a lovely dress and looks fab for humid Brissie weather. Well done on the wonderful discipline of French seams though - I'm impressed!
OH Kylie, it's stunning. What a shame, I wish there was some special enlarging technique I knew. xo
Kylie, that is stunning, you clever lady. Just beautiful x
This dress is perfect!!!!!
Oh no all that effort and it doesn't fit! It is rather beautiful! Is there no way you can let it out a little?
What a pretty summer dress (just popped across from Kirsty's 'creative space' and I'm loving your blog). I'm a total virgin when it comes to sewing clothes so although yours may be a bit snug it's still super dooper. Love it, Lucy xox PS I'm just reworking my own and am inspired by your header - very funky.
such a pretty dress, well done. Someone's going to be very lucky to get it.
It's a shame it doesn't fit you. It's a gorgeous dress.
Frocks are gorgeous, I am enjoying your blog very much.
Oh dear - it looks lovely all the same - well done on tackling the french seams. Would you wear it with a pair of tights?
very pretty...and very impressive to have french seams!
Oh NO! It is gorgeous. An amazing learning experience but such a shame not to enjoy it. Why not hold on to it for one of your girls.
Kylie, it is so pretty! What a shame that it won't fit you. I love it! Makes me want to get out my sewing machine!!!
You have such skills Kylie! Lovely.
aw, so bad it doesn't fit anymore. Think someone will be quite happy with this amazing present. The fabric is beautiful!
