After a couple of rough months, this summer has brought me immense peace and joy<\/strong>. The weather has helped a lot. I love the heat, especially by the seaside. And I have truly made the most of the heatwave in my sewing room. So here is the last of my summer dresses<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n

NL6491 pattern review<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Unusually for a French seamstress, I am a huge fan of traditional US pattern houses – in particular McCall\u2019s and Vogue (which are both part of the same corporation). However I had never sewn any New Look pattern; andthis first experience was extremely positive.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pattern description <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

New Look 6481 is a halter dress with a deep-plunge cleavage; and a gathered skirt attached to the bodice via a bel<\/strong>t. The dress is finished either with straps or neck ties and has two skirt length options: knee or ankle length. So four dress options in total – and many more if you decide to hack the pattern of course!<\/p>\n\n\n

NL6491 pattern positives<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

There are many thinks I like about this pattern<\/strong>; and appart for not being a great fan of gathered skirts, nothing I strongly dislike<\/p>\n\n\n\n
