Pucci Fabric! Need pattern suggestions
Markie1   Intermediate CA USA Member since 11/4/06 Posts: 87	Login to reply to this post Like this post Date: 6/29/11 3:07 PM Hello PR- I just bought 2 55"wide yards of a gorgeous geomteric design Pucci silk. I don't know what came over me, except the beauty of this fabric, but I was in Mood and couldn't stop myself. I don't even have a pattern idea yet, but I want to be true to the "Pucci esthetic" by making it simple and flowy. I don't want to say the word "caftan", but, you know what I mean. Any pattern ideas?

I think it would look great in a pucci print. It's on the cover for the German version. Let me see if I can link to the photo... Let's try this one: July Burda one shoulder dress -- Edited on 6/29/11 3:40 PM -- ------ Melody http://crazedsewer.blogspot.com/ hmmmm...

I did the same thing a couple of years ago. I was overcome by the beauty of the print and the fact that it was on sale. I am still looking for a pattern, or at least that is what I am saying. I think I am just afraid to cut it. Nevertheless, I have been toying with the idea of making this Simplicity patternfrom it in the shorter length: -- Edited on 6/29/11 5:45 PM --

Can't wait to see what you make with it. ------ I burn the candle at both ends and if it's not burning fast enough, I blow!

Not the most exciting sewing project, I know, but a good way to feature an irresistible Pucci print. ------ messymethodsewing.wordpress.com

It's so simple really but I love the way the sides end up looking asymmetrical. It could easily be lengthened if you wanted too. NL 6051 ------ http://kimsewsilly.blogspot.com/
redhotpepper   Advanced WA USA Member since 10/26/08 Posts: 391	Login to reply to this post Like this post Date: 6/30/11 11:12 PM I'd stick with something similar to what's on the Pucci website. With a fabric like that, I like to keep with the spirit of the original. You could probably go to style.com and see past seasons too. I've been jonesing for some Pucci fabric myself. Congrats on taking the dive. Annie
