Pattern Puzzle - Three Colour Wrap Dress

Quite a challenge in the latest Pattern Puzzle from our Saturday morning  conversations on facebook.  This is the original puzzle and the sketch and pattern plan are pasted below.  Alison & Vivienne once again solved the puzzle with flying colours.  Great work!

  1. LOVE the dress.. wanna make it! would you use stable knit for this or a lightweight woven fabric??

  2. Hi Lynn. I think my favourite would be a crepe. Wool crepe for cooler climates, or a satin backed crepe for evening. Maybe a linen/cotton blend for hot climates.

    So yes to the light weight woven. The knit would need a different block to start with but would also look great. Are you thinking of cutting this pattern?

  3. I just found your blog and I am hooked. I am just a home sewer and your designs are probably way beyond me - BUT - I would love to have a go at this amazing dress using my block. Would you allow me to copy?

  4. I would love you to try it! Particularly if you are willing to post here about your progress/results. I am also happy to have any number of conversations re your progress if that helps. :)

    In the not too distant future I intend to develop these patterns to sell on-line. Having a group of wiling pattern testers will be crucial. Would you be interested?

    I'm so flattered by your enthusiasm.
    Speak soon. Anita
