George + Ginger Ginger Dress Update!

When Kristi announced she needed testers for the Ginger Dress Update, I signed up immediately. It's one of the George + Ginger patterns that I have not ever made. I'm not a fan of dresses, but will definitely wear this with legging. I did do my photos with bare legs since after all - it IS a dress.

But, don't look close - I have some seriously ugly legs. I did do some photoshopping to remove the more unsightly parts with bruising.

Since I am 5' tall, I did take 3" out of the length of the pattern. I typically take 2 - 2.5" out on tops and 3" for tunics. The Ginger Dress is short on me! This is probably a great look on many, but I'm old and not used to showing off my kneecaps.

I love this fun handkerchief hem though. It was an especially windy day when I took these photos.

I used a 2-way stretch poly jersey for the body and used Spoonflower Modern Jersey for the band at the bottom. This Ammonite print is one of my designs. It is based on an Ernst Haeckel drawing.

The Ginger Dress is seriously cute. I love the loose fit and think just about any body shape/type can look great in it.

The Ginger Dress has a sleeveless as well as various sleeve options. I made the short sleeves - which was added in the update.

Sleeveless was also a new addition to the update and I can't wait to make one for summer.

I had so much fun making the Ginger Dress! I even hacked a shirt version. I'll be posting a blog on it in the near future.
