Maxi Dress for Wovens?
Deepika   Intermediate MA USA Member since 11/28/01 Posts: 10917 Founder	Login to reply to this post Like this post Date: 6/28/12 10:39 AM I am loving the Maxi trend. I got this awesome cotton ombre print from Elliot Berman Textiles which would make a killer maxi dress. I dont want to break the print so I want to make something long. Does anyone have any suggestions on patterns? ------ - Deepika Founder, PatternReview.com Blog: http://www.deepikablogs.com

Date: 6/28/12 12:13 PM You could try Mcalls 6346 Version D doesn't have a waist seam, you could also omit the bottom frill. I look forward to seeing what else people come up with because i love a woven maxi. I had loads in my slimmer days, just long sheath dress with a side or back slit. Burda 7664 is a good example ------ Clare Blog: http://art-by-clare.blogspot.co.uk/ Machines: Juki F600, Juki 654 serger, Bernina 550 for art work, Janome Coverpro 1000cp barely used A Singer Featherweight Centennial and an old Necci in the loft waiting for TLC http://art-by-clare.blogspot.co.uk/

Date: 6/28/12 1:22 PM Wow, both of those are good suggestions. I might have to try one of them. McCalls maxi has lots of reviews but I know that Burda fits me, so maybe I should make the Burda one. ------ - Deepika Founder, PatternReview.com Blog: http://www.deepikablogs.com

I'm very tempted to give it a try as I think the dress has a very flattering line. That style is super easy to fit, too. Thanks for posting.

I think more fabric will need to be added to the skirt width to look like the blue drawing. ------ Clare Blog: http://art-by-clare.blogspot.co.uk/ Machines: Juki F600, Juki 654 serger, Bernina 550 for art work, Janome Coverpro 1000cp barely used A Singer Featherweight Centennial and an old Necci in the loft waiting for TLC http://art-by-clare.blogspot.co.uk/

Date: 6/28/12 3:17 PM Simplicity 3803 -- haven't made this one yet but it's in the queue (actually close to the top) for after the wedding. I have a beautiful piece of white cotton with red embroidery that I picked up at Vogue in Chicago that is destined for this dress -- already have the piece picked out for the muslin so I'm ready to go once I'm back on the 9th. ------ Sheila "sewing very slowly to fill an empty closet" 2012/2013 Stash Busting Sew-Along: 27.25 yards sewn (as of 05/15/13) 21.75 yards purchased (as of 05/15/13)
