After my lemon version of M6696<\/a>, reviewed in details <\/strong>here<\/strong><\/a>, I definitely absolutely vitally needed a plainer version<\/strong>. But as you\u2019ve probably guessed, my vision of plain is not exactly common view, I the lady who never ever wear jeans on the school run. So here is M6696 number 2, in a blue chambray but enhanced by silver piping and sparkly buttons<\/strong> – why not?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I used the pattern pieces of my lemon dress and made no changes whatsoever – so the size is 8\/ C bust cup, instead of the 12 recommended by the pattern, and the fit is absolutely perfect. Each time I work on these Vogue or McCall pattern, I really wonder why the sizing is so completely off <\/strong>– it does not matter when you\u2019re aware of it, but I\u2019m convinced it is a massive put-off if you don\u2019t know. Anyway, for me, perfect fit everywhere!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For this dress, I used a blue cotton chambray<\/strong> from Fabrics Galore<\/a> \u2013 a beauty of a fabric, somewhat on the thick side hence perfect for mid-season (with sleeves) but not for full summer. To counter the schoolgirl effect, I added silver piping along each side of the button plackets and some sparkly buttons<\/strong>. The end-result is well beyond my expectations: I am absolutely thrilled with this dress. <\/strong>Next time however, I will add the piping on each side of the superior button placket instead, as here they do not stay parallel when the fabric pulls. Oh well…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

In any case I am overly pleased with this dress, even more so because it is so different from its lemon sister. There is no doubt a third version will be sewn for the autumn,<\/strong> with three-quarter sleeves this time!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
