Well hey yall hey! It’s me again, and this go ’round I’ll be showcasing a make from a favorite Vogue pattern of mine. I’m sitting here eating Oops! All Berries and trying not to throw a complete fit because I cannot for the life of me find the information I wrote down about sewing the pattern. Whenever I sew anything I write down the pattern number and date I whipped it up; along with any other details I need just in case I need them if/when I sew the pattern again. That information is definitely floating somewhere in the matrix….Luckily I remember sewing it and the dilemmas I had when I did…So lemme get to sharing those with you good people….
I don’t have many Vogue patterns and to be honest I just assumed the company’s patterns ran small; I have my reasons. Now while the “runs small” thing may be true for some Vogue patterns; it was so NOT for this one. This post is for V9104 “Very Easy Vogue” Misses Dress View A….Ever since I’ve been sewing every single pattern that used the word “easy” was NOT easy; not at all….now while this one wasn’t too difficult to sew up it had a smorgasbord of issues; but I had everything to do with each one LOL…..I usually cut a size 16 with all patterns and make any needed alterations but this pattern was thrifted and only went up to a 14. I definitely could’ve cut the smallest size (Size 6) and still been able to fit into it; this pattern runs HUGE ASF….It’s a very loose fitting dress; I call it my designer moo moo/mumu and with good reason…its super comfortable, has pockets and is absolutely perfect for lounging around the house looking super pretty eating hella snacks. Even if you have too many snacks the dress will never tell your business! I have no fabric information although I’m pretty sure the fabric came from Fabric Mart. I remember I ran out of the printed knit fabric and finished the dress with a piece of Black ponte from my stash. It worked perfectly….(I got a funny feeling that when I post this blog I’ll find the information I needed to write it smh; Murphy’s Law at its finest…If I do I’ll share any other cool information that I haven’t today)….The pattern debuted in 2015….
I whipped this dress up at least a few years ago and it was a complete mess but I didn’t have the heart to get rid of it; the fabric is so pretty….So I did what all good sewing folks do and put it in the UFO pile for a later date….the later date was a week or so ago and I’m so glad I saved it….Now when I originally sewed this dress the neckline was thrashed, the hem was atrocious, and the pockets had their issues too….I was in the mood to fix it up and I did just that….the dress called for quite a bit of yardage too (4 yards) so I was a bit extra to work with….Needless to say I’m glad its done….I LOVE IT….I always did; even with the huge mistakes I made the first time around)….on the pattern cover the ladies are wearing heels and you can see the dress is off the floor…I’m not sure if the ladies are super tall or if I’m short buuuuutttt~~Mine made me look like the queen I am because the dress was so long that it made a trail behind me….the pictures will show more than I can explain…..Overall I love this pattern and I want to make at least two more for the same lounging reasons….I’ll more than likely cut the same size because although it’s super long and somewhat on the larger side I love it so much because of that….
I’ve rambled on long enough so I’ll share the pictures now….Per usual if yall have any questions or comments please share them with me because talking sewing is one of my favorite things to do….
XOXOXOXO
