So I was sat flicking through the telly channels the other night and was suddenly reminded that the following day was St. Patrick's Day. What's the big deal I hear you say? I completely understand your question. We aren't Irish, I live on the south coast of the Uk and it's not like it is a big thing here. Well the reason I got excited was this........ I had THE MOST perfect fabric for St. Patrick's day, that my friend Genine from Genniwren had sent me, and I had been saving it especially and now I finally got to use it :D
So bearing in mind it was 7pm the day before St. Patrick's day I needed a quick dress to make that would look lovely and would pass Zoe's "Twirl test". I didn't have to think about which dress to use for the bodice that was easy I went straight to the Endless Dress from Jocole. I then had a think about how I wanted the skirt to look and I wanted something that when Zoe was walking looked casual and every day but would be seriously twirly. I looked at a few patterns and again came back to Jocole. I decided to use the skirt from the Circle Flounce.
Jodi, The design brain behind Jocole, Designed the Endless dress to be able to be mixed with a huge range of her designs and add on packs meaning it has 1000's of options and is generally the bodice I use as a start point for many of my dresses.
Any way back to Zoe's dress. I followed the instructions on the skirt and added it to the bodice making sure that I left enough room to add the zip. (it was late and I didn't want to faff about with buttons)
From start to finish I think the 2 dresses took me just over 3 hours and Zoe (and Ted) were very very happy to wake up with new dresses on St. Patrick's day _
