Liberty Rollerskate Dresses

 


KCWC



The pattern: Oliver+S Rollerskate Dress, view A, size 5
The fabrics: Liberty Lifestyle Stile, blue/cream one: Lowke Pastel, pink/green one: Herbert Pastel; lining fabric was 100% cotton voile in white. The Liberty of London fabric was a dream to work with, it cut like butter and is super soft.
The mods: I added on-seam side pockets using the Freshly Picked's free pocket pattern. The blue/cream dress has cotton twill tape for the ribbon bow detail in the front.




PS One day you're in and the next day you're out… as for the sew off, I took 4th place! Many thanks to all of you who supported my Checkerboard Dress, Pencil and Paper Bedding Set, and Little Black Tunic and Blue Pants. I pushed myself, tried new things, and added new sewing skills to my repertoire, so I was appreciative of the experience!

I love these dresses!
I have some Liberty fabric on my stack of fabrics but they are so beautiful that I'm afraid to cut them!

The dress is lovely! You always use such divine fabrics in your sewing.:) I was seriously impressed with all your entries in the Sew Off...that's too bad that you can't continue on.

I love these dresses, you did an amazing job! They look so perfect in the Liberty Fabric. I think I am going to have to try adding some pockets to my next dress!

Beautiful dress, too bad about the sew off - I bet you also acquired more fans from it though (myself included!)

Education of the students in preliminary and early stage is important and significant. It is inclusive and used for the achievement and utilization of the different kinds. Types of the studies and subjects are myriad and effective.
