All 112 materials can be used on anything and have the advantage of a scale node within the material room, so that you can change the size of the pattern to suit your needs. This is especially useful when you are using the same material on different items of clothing, where the print shows bigger/smaller on one than on the other.

Please note - This product is not Merchant Resource.

Dropped into my Wishlist until the funds come in.

Thanks Miss B
If anyone is interested, this is where I got inspiration for the dress, although the ruffled drop down strappy top part wouldn't work in the cloth room so altered it, don't look anything like it now, lol

 

[Miss B]

Oh nice, and I like that purse she's carrying too, though maybe with a thinner linked chain strap.

Reminds me of my favorite dress when I was about 3.
Red Hen Publications: All Things Relative — Family Album pg 27 of 30
Ma made me another just like it when I outgrew it. I had something like it up until I was 6 or 7. (No Disney Princess dresses in those days.)

It isn't clear from the photo, but it was a simple sleeveless top with a drop-shouldered ruffle attached front and back.

Love the patchwork dress, and the materials are so pretty, too!

Yikes that first link you provided listed it at around $1,500 US. This second one is listed at $13,000 US. What are they crazy????? For a tiny little purse like that????? OK, second one says it's alligator, but really? The links must be made from 24K gold. Sheesh!!

I love those sorts of dresses, I think we called that a gypsy dress in our house in the 70s. I wish I could see the top design better, I'd make it for Diva if I could see how the top was constructed. Was it off the shoulders or was there straps?

Thanks Lyne, I thought you would like those ( I made note of the hemline not being toooooo long as to hide the feet

Yep. silly money, but I seem to remember reading somewhere once that Oprah bought a bag for over $30k. Some people just don't know the value of money and how little others have, $13,000/ £9,600 wasted on a handbag? TUT TUT!

Edited to add - PLUS you cant fit anything in it, a phone, lippy and your keys and thats it, what about the kitchen sink? where does that go?

Ma sewed. Enthusiastically, but with no pretensions of professionalism. Nearly all of my clothes were homemade, and the construction was *really* simple. Most skirts were just rectangular pieces of fabric gathered into the waist.

In the case of the princess dress, it was based on a plain sleeveless dress. Not straps, just sleeveless, although the shoulder pieces were probably narrower than typical. and like all of my other dresses, it was cut with a separate bodice and skirt -- since Ma thought that used less fabric than cutting anything princess style. The shoulder ruffle (and the skirt ruffle for that matter) were just strips of fabric hemmed and gathered. I can't remember whether the drop-shoulder portion of it was even backed with anything -- although it was probably sewn to a bit of bias tape. Or elastic. I certainly don't ever recall her fitting anything to me before she presented it to me to wear. She had a good eye for proportions, but everything was basically by guess and by gosh. She didn't use commercial patterns.

She didn't usually bother with fastenings, either, so there were almost certainly sashes set into the side seams which tied in the back for the fit.

Your mum sounds like she did what I used to do when I did dressmaking, i used to make a lot of my own clothes when I was a teen and never used a pattern, when I did, i made the pattern and did a twarl(sp?) first, then I made my niece a whole wardrobe of clothes one year, although I did use patterns for those, but again, simple summer dresses with frills and tie top dungarees (she was about 6 at the time) I loved making kids clothes, so many fun fabrics.

Do you think the top was similar to this, but shoulder ruffles pointing downwards and longer? of course the skirts not the same,

also done this, this morning, not sure how it will drape though, still early stage, smocking was a nightmare
