I must say , I love the  city..I loved visiting the French Quarter and Bourbon Street. Although parts of Bourbon Street where a bit to wild for myself ..Overall I enjoyed the experience. We are here for my sons soccer tournament so we had to find time to do any site seeing...</div>

Now on to my outfit.... I love the way this dress turned out...I was going a not so innocent school girl look :) </div>

I altered it a bit by taking three inches off the bottom and adding a peter pan color. The dress was made from the same stretch suiting fabric that i used in <a href="http://mrscraftychick.blogspot.com/2014/03/this-guy.html" target="_blank">"That Guy" </a>outfit. I love it because it has a stretch and its wrinkle free. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Next time I make the dress I want to use a lighter fabric, after adding the lining the dresses ended up having some weight to it. For spring and summer this wont do!! Yes I do plan on making another!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Overall I love this dress. The pattern was SUPER easy to follow.</div>

To make the "Peter Pan" collar I first connected the front and back bodice pieces. Before I connected the side pieces,  I traced the length and shape of the collar by laying tracing paper over it. After I had the top traced I free handed the shape of the "Peter Pan "Collar. There are several tutorials on you tube on how to do this .</div>

School Girl in NOLA!

This weekend I'm in New Orleans!!

I must say , I love the city..I loved visiting the French Quarter and Bourbon Street. Although parts of Bourbon Street where a bit to wild for myself ..Overall I enjoyed the experience. We are here for my sons soccer tournament so we had to find time to do any site seeing...

Now on to my outfit.... I love the way this dress turned out...I was going a not so innocent school girl look :)

I think I nailed it :)

Here is the pattern that I used : Vogue 8615

I altered it a bit by taking three inches off the bottom and adding a peter pan color. The dress was made from the same stretch suiting fabric that i used in "That Guy" outfit. I love it because it has a stretch and its wrinkle free.

Next time I make the dress I want to use a lighter fabric, after adding the lining the dresses ended up having some weight to it. For spring and summer this wont do!! Yes I do plan on making another!!

Overall I love this dress. The pattern was SUPER easy to follow.

After I had the top traced I free handed the shape of the "Peter Pan "Collar. There are several tutorials on you tube on how to do this .

Till next time
