Or, my continuing adventures with Vogue 1250Last night, I whipped up another version of Vogue 1250--a fab DKNY design that a lot of people in blogland have made.
This matte jersey number is the version that will be traveling back east with my DD, Ms. L, tomorrow.
It is no surprise that the second one was just as easy to sew as the first. The pattern is well drafted, the instructions are easy to follow, and, most importantly, Ms. L loves it! Yay! Success! Happy daughter! Happy mom!

Shoe love: And speaking of pink, who wouldn't want a pair of pink suede pumps? Really, now. I wanted a fun shoe to wear with trouser jeans, and these are perfect! These are from Spiegel's line. I purchased these last spring; it looks like the pink ones are sold out but they still have the black suede version on sale for $34.99.
Happy sewing! ~ Peggy
Your dress looks very nice! I might have to check this pattern out.:]
ReplyDeleteThanks Rebecca! The pattern is easy and quick. I think you'd like it. ~ Peggy
ReplyDeleteAwesome dress! Darn it, I'm going to have to break down and buy this pattern!
ReplyDeleteFabulous dress! I absolutely love it! The colour is amazing and the fit is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteWow! Your DD looks amazing in that dress! It's great to find your new blog. I love to see what other people are doing and to learn from them.
ReplyDeleteThanks for dropping by my blog.
ReplyDeleteThis dress looks wonderful!
This dress looks amazing! I made it a couple days ago, but didn't finish it because I was uncertain it looked good on my body. The overall look is great, but then it seems to cling/hang from my belly on down. I think due to nothing supporting the waistline. This would not be a problem if I did not have a belly. I thought about adding a belt. I haven't given up, just tucked it away in disappointment. But yours looks so fab I will pull it out again!
ReplyDeleteWow, these are my favorite versions of this pattern I've seen. They look so sleek in the longer length. Fabulous!
ReplyDeleteI never gave that pattern a second look but your version is stunning! I love the other version, too. Looks like this was made for your daughter's figure!
ReplyDeleteThank you all so much for your generous comments! I really appreciate each one of them. ~ Peggy
ReplyDeleteJane, do try a belt with the dress; it really makes a difference because it defines the waist so much better. I think it would also be great for cooler temps, styled with a looser belt (high hip) long cardigan and boots.
Beautiful dress Peggy! I missed this pattern and now have to add yet one more pattern to my "out of control" collection!
ReplyDeleteAlso, thanks for stopping by & good luck on your tunic...I bet it will look better on you!!!!
Love that dress! I picked up the pattern at the JoAnn's sale last weekend and was just wondering if I wanted to sew it. Guess what? After seeing the ones you made, I do!!
ReplyDeleteYour DD is going to look fabulous on her date! Love this version too!
ReplyDeleteMyra, Beth, and Carolyn ~ Thank you so much for your very kind words! I really appreciate them. This is a fun and easy pattern, and I think I first saw it made up on Carolyn's blog--fantastic!; I just love all the possibilities~ Peggy
ReplyDeleteI am going to have to pull this pattern out of my pattern stash and sew it up myself. Both your versions look wonderful!
