March “Flip this Pattern”: Flipped Creation Two


Vanessa, from lbg studio, is here to give you her “Flipped Creation”
for the Blank Slate Patterns, Beachy Boatneck.
************************************************************************

Hi! I originally had something different planned for my “flip” of the Beachy Boatneck top but ended up changing my mind mid-project and went in a totally different direction. I wasn’t loving the fabric combination I had picked out and decided to go back to the drawing board. I went through my stash and rediscovered this awesome rayon challis print. Don’t you love when that happens?! The fabric is really soft and has an awesome drape so I just knew it needed to be a dress. I really love the neckline of the Beachy Boatneck top and wanted to keep that in my “flip”. In order to make sure there would be no issues with getting the dress on and off, I added a button placket to the bodice part of the dress. I also wanted a hi-lo skirt and accomplished that by curving the front and back bodice so that the back was longer than the front as well as cutting the front of the skirt bottom on a curve. 

I omitted the sleeves and facings included with the pattern and instead lined the bodice with a knit fabric. I’m really thrilled with the result and love that this dress can be layered in cooler weather (like during the photoshoot – it was freezing!) and can be worn alone once it warms up. 
Thanks so much to Ashley and Emily for having me be a part of the series!
************************************************************************
“Flip this Pattern” voting will begin on Friday, March 21 and run through Sunday, March 23.
Stay tuned for more “Flips” coming your way….every Thursday….between now and then!
And, in the meantime, link up your “Flipped Pattern” and be inspired by others sewing along!

I have impatiently been waiting to see what you do. Vanessa it is beautiful and stylish. What a comfortable idea to line the whole thing in knit.

    thank you! the fabric i used was hard to cut because it kept shifting so i figured it would be easier to cut the lining pieces from another fabric instead. the knit i had on hand had a similar drape to the outer fabric so it seemed like a good idea. and yes, it’s extra soft and comfy :)
