Croquet Dress

Oliver + S Croquet Dress by nest full of eggs
 Happy 4th of July!

I have had this Oliver + S Croquet Dress paper sewing pattern for I don't know how long, at least over a year.

 It's the pattern for July for Flip This Pattern at Frances Suzanne.

 That was just the motivation I needed to finally sew one up!

 Project details:
Pattern: Oliver + S Croquet Dress (rating of 2 out of 4 scissors)
Size: 6 with size 7 skirt length
Fabrics: red, white, and blue plaid seersucker, chambray
Notions: red button from my stash, instead of a thread loop I grabbed some red & white gingham ribbon from my stash to use as a button loop

I really liked how this dress was constructed, it came together rather nicely. And the 2 out of 4 scissor rating is spot on. I'm pleased with the color combination and the fabric combination. You know, this was the first time I had ever sewn with seersucker. Why have I never sewn with seersucker before? Anyway, I will definitely sew with seersucker again in the near future.

Enjoy the 4th of July fireworks!

I love this dress!! I have it and really want to sew it up this summer as well. I love your fabric combination. Such a classic girls' dress, with a 20s vibe.

Inder, you should really sew one up by July 24th & enter it in the sew-along linky party, I hope you will...

Happy 4th of July! I love this dress! I would love one for myself, the fabric is perfect. I hope you are enjoying the summer.
perfect dress for the 4th of July! seersucker is nice and cool for summer weather and i love it paired with the chambray.
Super cute! Perfect 4th of july dress!
Love this combo!! If my thread loop doesn't hold up I'll be adding a cute ribbon loop like you did. Great idea!
Just getting and thinking I'll make this dress next since I've had the pattern for years. Your dress looks perfect!
