Another trip down New Look 6223 Avenue

In the words of OK Go, "Here we go, here we go, here we go again".  Some time ago I bought this wonderful fabric on line. It is probably one of the nicest fabrics I've used in the last 10 years.  It is a heavy style cotton which looks like a linen. Just perfect for my favourite pattern. This was one of those one day projects from cut out to the finished press on the ironing board. I lined the bodice for this version but didn't get around to lining the skirt. Ah well, I'll just have to pull out the half slip again.  

I wore this on my last day at work before the Christmas break.  I got plenty of really nice compliments. It really does say something about using a good quality material, people do seem to notice.  I think this material also came in a blue and yellow if I recall.  I have a terrible memory but I am pretty sure I bought it through Etsy. I really should branch out and try the other dress options for this pattern, particularly the version with a side gather. If I could find some good plain coloured fabric I surely would.

 

 

It's hard to tell, but if you look closely you can see the small black markings which would be little kitties. I even have the kitty earrings to match.   Did I mention that I like cats.....
