Mixed Prints

I found these two fabrics (which I think are apart of the same collection) and i just knew they HAD TO go together. The print on both fabrics are similar because they are both stripes but they I love how different they are in the way that it was designed. That is what caught my eye!

Lets talk about the pattern. I knew initially that I wanted both fabrics to be paired into a dress. Sourcing the pattern was a bit difficult because I wanted to make sure that whatever I chose, it highlighted both fabrics and it had to somehow make this “homemade“ dress look believable. I cringe at the thought of my dresses looking homemade, so I make sure I plan it out thoroughly.

MATERIALS:
Pattern McCalls 8036
Modifications: I added lining to the inside of the dress bodice and made it floor length.
