Thank you all for all your wonderful comments on my last post. That dress really made me look 10 years older and it’s a goner, goner goner…………lol. I nearly lost my mojo after making it, but fortunately got it back from my TNT pattern…………………
Talking about the right dress… I love my Newlook 6429. This is my second time of making this dress and I am still very much in love with it… I am (hopefully) going to make every version….lol….
Here is the first one and you can read the review there as well. However, I did some quality sewing with this version:
(1) I finished the armhole SA with seam binding
(2) I slipstitched the neck facing
(3)I bond the hem with lite steam- a-seam and this time used my coverstitch machine to finish it.
Next time I will add about 1″ to the sleeve if I have to make this long sleeve again ,I forgot to do the flat measurement of the sleeve before cutting the fabric so I had to do 1/4″ on the cuffs and armhole… it looks pretty nice on me and I love it……………………….
Here are some pictures for you………………………wink
That is really beautiful. I love the print.
Love the print – and great job on the finishing!

I love both dresses! Great prints! I have got to try NL6429. I've had it in my stash for ever. What size did you use?

Gorgeous dress! I have just made this and will follow your tip for raising the neckline on my next one (yep, I am sold on it too and need to make many versions!)
