More Skater Dresses

Just in case you haven't noticed, I love the Skater Dress by Kitschy Coo

I've posted about this pattern in detail here.

So today just pictures of my two newest versions. The fabric is from Girl Charlee.




 Isn't this fabric awesome?!?!
I shortened the bodice 3/4 inch for this version and it fits much better now. Less crinkles in the back.



I always knew I am a trendsetter. Look at this.
Taylor Swift with fox shirt. Can't believe what a copycat she is!

Skater Dress x3

And here they are, my Skater dresses. Because when I like a pattern I can't just make one. The pattern is by Kitschy Coo and you can find it here

It is a PDF pattern, so prepare for some printing and assembling. But it is well worth it!

This version is Crepe Jersey which I bought a year ago at Fabric.com. Anyone else annoyed about their new website?



 This fabric is from Denver Fabrics in Denver (not the website). It is a nice rather slinky jersey.



The Strawberry version. Heather Ross Briar Rose in Lilac. I am not sure if all that white doesn't look too much on me due to my rather fair skin tone. But I love the fabric. 



Here is a side/back view. 



Pattern Description:
This funky yet functional knit dress has a fitted bodice, scooped banded neckline, a curved flared knee-length skirt, and options for trimmed cap sleeves, or banded ¾ length sleeves or long sleeves. It's designed to flatter the figure with a waistline that hits at the natural waist and a skirt that gently skims over the lower waist and hips.

Pattern Sizing:
There are eight sizes included in the pattern, ranging from a 30” to 44” high bust, and a 24” to 38” high waist. I made a size 34"

Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it?
Yes

Were the instructions easy to follow?
The PDF pattern comes with two different instructions. A long version with lots of photos and detailed instructions, and a short version without pics. Both very easy to follow.

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?
Nothing to dislike.

Fabric Used:
All three versions are cotton jersey.

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made:
I didn't make any alterations. In a next version I might shorten the bodice a bit.

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?
I will sew it again, and highly recommend it to others. Great pattern for beginners with knit fabric.

Conclusion: 
A super easy and fast to sew dress. Very cute and flattering.


This is my favorite song right now. The whole CD is running constantly on my playlist.
