I have been wanting to sew a broderie anglaise summer dress for many many moons – here it is finally, with my latest handmade version of the M7952 pattern<\/a><\/strong>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Inspiration for this dress<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

My love-affair with broderie anglaise has been going on for years but the inspiration for this specific dress emerged last year<\/strong>, with the release of the Alesia dress pattern by Cozy Little World<\/a>. One of the presentation dresses was in white broderie anglaise and it was love at first sight!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

And my love for apron-style dresses was reinforced further by a series of beautiful dresses offered by French clothing brand Sezane over last summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Despite the enthusiasm it created in the French sewing community, I was held off using the Alesia pattern by the fact I never made a Cozy Little World dress before<\/strong> (I did make the Monceau cardi and it was great though), so I was dreading the prospect<\/strong> of getting it to my standard of perfect fit… I am a bit complicated I know… And then came the issue of the M7952 pattern, hurrah!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

M7952 pattern review and modifications <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

I am a huge fan of McCall\u2019s and Vogue dress patterns <\/strong>because I know that if I make a size 10, it will fit like a glove without any fitting required<\/strong> – except for an FBA when the pattern in not offered with cup options. This specific pattern was no exception, the fit is just so good!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You may (or may not) remember that I already made a striped version of M7952 <\/strong>a few months ago, so the full review of the pattern can be found in this article.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

I summary, I really enjoy this pattern<\/strong>: the fit and overall pattern conception are perfect, the style is lovely, and I adore the back straps, back button and skirt pockets. This is not a pattern for beginners<\/strong>, as it has quite a few pattern pieces and conception steps, but it is hugely rewarding for an intermediate seamstress<\/strong>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

The only change I had to make was an FBA<\/strong> and I thought I hadn’t quite got it right because of a slightly pointy boob result. However I did not know how to adjust the FBA further so I kept it for the next version.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

For my striped version, it took a lot of thinking to cut the fabric so the stripes would look right. For my broderie anglaise dress, the thinking was all about how to deal with the completely see-through nature of the fabric.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I opted for adding a second layer of fabric<\/strong> – specifically white cotton lawn- on all the pieces requiring it: bodice front, bodice sides, pockets and skirt pieces<\/strong>. I glued both fabric together with temporary fabric glue<\/strong> (WS of broderie to RS of lawn) and then put my dress together following the instructions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I know this is not the orthodox method to add an under-layer but it worked wonder for me; and I am so pleased with this method that I will definitely use it again for my future broderie anglaise projects. Here is the inside of the dress in any case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

This time I replaced the back buttons of the skirt by an invisible zip<\/strong> (I simply did not add the button plackets) and it did wonder to the bust fit for an obscure reason, no pointy boobs, hurrah!!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fabric review<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The fabric I used it a stunning white broderie anglaise which I ordered online from French fabric shop Un Chat sur un Fil<\/a><\/strong>. I have ordered broderie anglaise before (from China in particular when I couldn\u2019t find what I wanted in Europe) and this is the first time I am so enthusiastic<\/strong>: the fabric is nice and thick, the broderie well defined and very pretty. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

This was my first order from this shop and I was definitely in awe at the quality of fabrics<\/strong>. I also bought some beautiful embroidered cotton with which I made these two other dresses (blog articles here<\/a> and here<\/a>), so pleasing to get exactly the fabric quality I was after!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

In conclusion<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

This dress was such a positive experience: better fit than the previous one and the bonus of now knowing how to manage broderie anglaise!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sadly this is probably my last M7952 dress for this year, as the summer is drawing to an end and I will soon start sewing my autumn wardrobe. But I\u2019m sure I\u2019ll be back to this pattern next year!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
