After my first version of the B6018 pattern<\/a> in a quite stiff silk dupion, I was keen to try and sew a second, more floaty version. Here it is!<\/p>\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I fully reviewed the B6918 pattern (which I adore), as well as explained in details how to make a Full Bust Adjustment (FBA) in a previous article<\/a>. Here, I am going to solely focus on fabric effects. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For this version of the dress, I used a bright red, medium weight, cloqu\u00e9 polyester fabric from The New Craft House<\/a>. I was so attracted by the fabric texture and its wonderful bright and at the same time deep red colour, that I broke my personal no-poly policy. The texture is definitely more visible on close-up pictures.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

I definitely achieved my purpose of a floatier effect for the lower part of the dress, where the skirt falls and moves very nicely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

However, I am not that thrilled with the bodice. I did really struggle to properly iron my seams, I find it is really visible and it really annoys me when I wear the dress. The collar in particular is a complete miss. I am not sure wether it is because of the drape of the fabric or simply because it is poly, I can’t remember ever having such a struggle with floaty silk. What do you think? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In any case, this dress in completley wearable, especially ahead of Christmas in my Mother Christmas outfit…<\/p>\n\n\n
