Winter Ivy Pinafore Dress

The Ivy Pinafore Dress proved to be the perfect choice for a thick wide wale corduroy I had purchased.

I chose to make the unlined version due to the thickness of the fabric.  Jennifer Lauren Handmade has instructions for this version on her blog.  The pictures which accompanied the instructions for this version appeared slightly complicated, particularly for the curved yoke and straps.  However, a bit of patience and taking it step by step resulted in a lovely finish to the yoke.  The yoke lining is black and white check winter cotton.

The large rose shaped buttons were sewn through both straps, once fitted.  There is no need for buttonholes!

The fit was perfect for me with no adjustments made.  A highly recommended pattern.  This would sew up lovely for summer in a cotton drill or denim.
