I know those prints so well because I use them to make boxer shorts. If anybody's wondering it's an 50112042504.1e' target='_blank'>Alexander Henry print.
I think it's a cute, fun little dress. -- Edited on 7/29/12 3:22 PM -- ------ Melody

Date: 7/29/12 4:20 PM Great find! That quilting cotton made a sweet dress, although it looks like it's going to pop off any second. LOL Like how the dress itself sort of copied the clothing on the fabric, too. |

I made a dress out of a cowgirl Alexander Henry pin-up girl print just a couple months ago... review is right here. Sorry about the ridiculous iPad.
This may be the first time I've been ahead of anything remotely trendy.

Date: 1/1/13 10:19 AM I just saw your dress, and it is F-A-B! I love it. I have that fabric too, well I had it. I've wanted to make a dress from one of those prints myself but I can't find the right look for me, eventually, I suppose. ------ Melody

Date: 1/3/13 7:55 PM Interesting, this dress seems to have a lot of structure going on, maybe to make up for the lack of substance to the quilt cotton? Something to remember when making a dress with this fabric. ------ http://lasewist.blogspot.com/ |
