Signature style - PR&P

Season 8 of Project Run & Play is coming to an end and I am quite happy with my first time joining this project. I wasn't planning to join all 4 week's challenges but I made an effort to sew something for each week and I managed to do it (well, except for week 2, which was a sewing fail...)

This week's theme was the most difficult - Signature style! 

I am not sure yet what is my signature style because I love to sew pretty things with lace and ruffles and piping as much as I love to sew comfortable simple things...
But looking to the things I have sewn in the last (let's say) 6 months I have used a lot of... corduroy! And I seem to love fabric with small flowers... So I think those two could be a signature fabric style for me. 
And the things I have loved the most to make have some details on it (lace, piping, vintage buttons), so I would say that is a signature look.

So... this week I have made this...



She had just came from Ballet School, thus the fancy hair...
A corduroy (with small flowers print) dress! With a white peter pan colar, piping at the front bodice, an invisible zipper at the back, fully lined.






I used the "The Caroline's Party Dress" by Welcome to The Mouse House - a perfect dress pattern! I altered the original pattern by adding piping to the front bodice.



Remember that bodice piece?... It is from my attempt to enter week 2 challenge - Let's go to the movies (see post here). It was a sewing fail and I was not able to finish the piece I intended to do for that week. Since the fabric wasn't enough for the dress I had in mind for that week (Lucy's Play dress) I decided to use it for this dress and I think it is perfect for my signature style!



She loves to twirl! I am definitely going to sew a few more Caroline Party dresses - for her and for tiny!


(Oh, I will try again to make the Lucy's Play dress! I already found several tutorials on how to sew that scalloped edge piping and I found the perfect fabric - a Liberty lawn floral print!)

    1. Obrigada!
      Não te sei explicar esta minha "coisa" com a bombazine... Acho que tive algumas peças de roupa em criança das quais devo ter gostado muito, e penso que isso deve criar em mim um sentimento de memórias felizes que se revela hoje nas coisas que faço, em bombazine! :)
