An elegant make with lots of possibilities

The Park Lane dress by Nina Lee has already been made by many sewists and I can totally see why.
It has been on my long “to make” list for a while, but when I found this green viscose fabric, I knew it would suit it perfectly.

I made the straight size 12 and luckily it fits pretty well! I omitted the shoulder ruffle this time (mainly because I didn’t have a rolled hem foot and couldn’t make it look neat ?) but I added an extra ruffle at the hem, just to give it a little something.
I think the dress needed it with it being a plain colour.

Nina’s instructions on how to insert to the invisible zip are great, so don’t be scared ? I think this is the best one I’ve ever done! Haha!

The Park Lane dress is very elegant and I know I’ll definitely be making it again!
The possibilities of hacking are endless!
