Pattern: Blank Slate Rose Dress Pattern mashed with Deer and Doe Plantain Dress
The rose dress pattern is definitely on my top 3 most made patterns list! I made a few dresses and shirts before I decided to mash it up with the plantain dress (free pattern). I have square wide shoulders so the original pattern armscye was a bit tight. I gave the pre-mashed garments to my very happy daughter because the pattern fits her perfectly with zero adjustments. Then I replace the arm and sleeve pattern pieces with the plantain dress pattern pieces for myself. It worked out perfectly.
I also used the interfacing pattern pieces for the front and back of the front yoke on the dress. I saw this done in a blog post by http://sewbon.com. I loved the look of it!
This dress is amazingly comfortable to wear and sews up in a couple of hours. The love affair is real with this one!
Fabric: Jersey/sweater knit from JoAnn Fabrics
This is pretty cool fabric. It is 90 % polyester and 10% wool. I often struggle wearing that much polyester on my arms because they get super hot and itchy but this fabric is great on the skin. It drapes like a dream and has a textured feel to it. That 10% wool completely changed the game. Sadly, there was only 1 1/2 yards left on the bolt. I searched Joann's website for more but couldn't find any. In the future, I will be keeping my eye out for this fiber content.
Bottom Line:
Based on the amount of rose dresses/shirts in my closet and my daughters, this pattern is a winner in my book. I love it even more since I mashed it up with the plantain dress.
