Vogue dress 9104

Vlisco describes the fabric as follows:

Blooming flowers are crystallized into a festive design that balances modern chic with feminine charm. This gemstone-inspired design is bursting with brilliant fashion possibilities for you to shine in.

I personally think it looks like origami flowers too.

I chose my size based on high bust measurement and made no FBA because the description states “very loose fitting”, which the finished measurements confirm. I eliminated the seam at center front and center back in order to use the flower design without the need to pattern match. I substituted the hook and eye at the back for handmade loops and buttons I had on hand. After I finished sewing, I cut off 10 cm off the bottom of the dress because it was ridiculously long and I don’t intend to wear it with 15-cm heels, much rather bare foot on a beach on holiday. I used the rolled hem foot of my sewing machine to hem it.
I love that it has pockets.
It probably looks best with a racerback bra.

So here we go, my new favorite maxi dress, which already got me quite a few compliments.
