| My version of Olivia Walton's wrap dress. Made from a navy and light blue floral fabric. Has white collar with light blue stitching around it.. [Sorry ,for the bad photos.. My camera is about gone[sad]. |
 |
| My light blue cardigan , that I found at the thrift store last year, is just perfect. |
 |
| Close up of fabric. This is the best fit of any of the Olivia Wrap dresses, I have made. The neckline is modest .The skirt has plenty of room to cross over. I would like to thank Eva for all her help and inspiration. Please check out her blog to see the adorable Olivia Walton dresses , she has created. .http://theopulentpoppy.blogspot.com/2012/11/busy-bees-housedress-honeycomb-print.html |

| Olivia Walton's Green hectagon wrap dress. I love this fabric.. But, I couldn't find anything similar to it. But, I will keep on looking.. Now, that the dress is fitting so well, I will be making more of them. It is the most comfortable dress, for church or working around the house.. Just perfect!!! |
Love your choice of fabric for this dress, it suits the style. You have nailed the fitting of this dress so well...
ReplyDeleteThank you Judith.. The photos really did not do it justice.It is really pretty in person..
ReplyDeleteIt is very nice! I'm so impressed that you made it, and it looks fabulous on you.
ReplyDeleteThank you Dianna..
DeleteHow adorable! I love the navy, light blue, and crisp white collar together! Kudos to you for getting the fit right for you :)
ReplyDeleteThank you Margo.. Love this dress. Eva had really impressed me with the oliva walton dresses..
DeleteJ..awesome job..and such a wonderful fit, too. Put me on the list to wear it on Tuesdays?! (Really, I always wanted a sister so I could raid her closet) Thanksgiving blessings to your family. Were those wreaths on your windows? Yikes, and I meant to paint some snowflakes on the shop window this week. Not done yet...got sidetracked sewing 4 aprons last night/this a.m. Daughter requested my thanksgiving ones, and I can't find the box!!! Maybe our weekend company will help me paint? D.
ReplyDeleteThank you Deedy...Now.. I really think Tuesdays should be your day ..lol I enjoyed wearing it, it is the most comfortable dress , I own. We can be long distant sisters... [of course kinda hard to raid closets that far away,lol] I have 3 sisters, but we never could raid each others closets.We 4 are totally opposite in sizes and heights..We don't even look alike, none of us.ha
DeleteSewing aprons ..sounds fun.
Yep.. that is my Christmas Wreaths on the windows.. I had worked on redoing them [changing ribbons and pinecones,etc]..SO, when I finished, I put them on the windows, so they wouldn't get mashed.ha After Thanksgiving is over, I am going to dO Christmas tree..
Hope your company helps you paint.. and hope you and family have a very blessed and happy Thanksgiving.. hugs my sister!!!
I love it - such an adorable style and true to the inspiration. It looks really nice on you too.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much.. I really love this style dress. SO comfortable and easy to wear. Love Oliva Walton's dresses all of them,ha] Happy Thanksgiving.
ReplyDeleteThis is so pretty Judy. Is it a vintage pattern you used? It's a perfect country look.
ReplyDeleteThank you Justine, I have been working on making an Olivia look alike dress.But could never get the pattern just right. A friend helped me tremendously.. I did start out with a vintage pattern.. The modern patterns are just too low cut for me..
DeleteGorgeous Sew Blessed looks really pretty on you. The fabric is really lovely as well and I love the two toned look!! Beautiful dress!! xo
ReplyDeleteThank you.. I love this dress, it is super comfortable.
DeleteJudy,
ReplyDeleteYour dress is gorgeous and looks fantastic on you! You are so slender and elegant. Absouletly lovely!
You are too sweet [and a little blind , I think.lol]

ReplyDeleteThank you Eva Girl.. I just love it.. And have another one , on the cutting table now.. I have a very sweet friend that helped me fit this pattern , the way I wanted it.. She is such a blessing, with out her , I could never have done it..
DeleteI really love your dress.. I got hooked on "The Opulent Poppy " Blog and now have been searching for a pattern? You and I have the same body type.. May I ask what pattern you used or perhaps purchase one you have drawn up? This would be just for my own personal use..
