George + Ginger Crimson Dress

The George + Ginger  Pattern of the Month for February is the Crimson Dress. I've had the peplum version of the Crimson on my "sewing" list since it was released. Specifically, I wanted to make a solid colored one that's sleeveless. The pattern does include a few sleeve options as well.

Since the Crimson has the gorgeous flounces and I didn't feel like hemming them, I decided to use some of my hoarded Tactel fabric from Zenith & Quasar. I love this fabric - it's so versatile!

I normally take length out of bodices for my height, but with these flounces, I was worried I would mess something up and decided to make it as is. I definitely need to remove length next time and will figure out the best way to remove length from the flounces. The front isn't too bad, but my sway back definitely hides the fact that there is a waistband.

The Crimson neckline is finished with a neckband. However, as I was making this for warmer weather, I decided to hack it to have a shelf bra with bra cups. Because who wants to wear a bra when it's 100 degree outside? 

 

 The Crimson has a full circle skirt and I can't resist twirling in a circle skirt.

 I paired my Crimson with some Palazzo pants I made a few years ago in  a swim knit that also came from Zenith & Quasar.

The Crimson  is on sale for $6.75 for the month of February. No code is needed.
