Blue Faux Leather Dress

Blue Faux Leather Dress

I am crushing hard on cobalt blue. HARD lol. I have had this cobalt blue faux leather in my stash for a while and decided a few weeks ago that I HAD to have a blue faux leather dress.

I searched my ENTIRE pattern stash to see what dress I wanted to make and I wasn’t moved. Then I saw a dress on Pinterest:

I said this is PERFECT!

I kept all my accessories neutral. I have had this coat for YEARS. It’s my favorite from Banana Republic. They have AMAZING outerwear.

Love doesn’t begin to describe how I feel about this dress. It was my first time making a FULL dress using faux leather but it was fun!

I only wanted one statement piece so I wore this necklace. I got this early last year from an eBay seller out of China lol. It was like $10 bucks. I’ll try and see if I can find them again.

One of my favorite songs by Trip Lee came on and I had to get a dance in lol. I had no idea Kayla was still taking pictures but they were too fun not to include lol. If you know me you know I LOVE music. LOUD music. Very loud lol.

For those of you who sew, here is a review:

New Look 6223

Pattern Description: Misses’ dress with side pockets & back zipper can be made sleeveless, with cap sleeves or with slightly ruched short sleeves. Bodice has darts or asymmetrical draping.  I made view D

Pattern Sizing: 8-18 I cut the 12

Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it?

YES!
Were the instructions easy to follow? I didn’t use them. I’ve made this pattern once before but they are written very well.

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?  I love this pattern. 

Fabric Used: Faux Leather

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: I lengthened the sleeves and shortened the dress by 3 inches.

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? This is a TNT. This is a great pattern and very versatile. I love it.

Conclusion: Great pattern! Pick it up if you like this style.
