UNBIASED /// The GWEN dress, top (And SKIRT!)
I wanted to properly introduce my new pattern, the GWEN, with all of the versions that I sewed for myself. This pattern is available in the Unbiased Collection bundle which is on sale until tomorrow. First, I made a white textured dress with pleather accents! Pleather at the shoulders, placket and sleeves! I used the cap sleeve, which works with the pleather, though you can see that it is a little tight. I wouldn't try pleather sleeves with the longer sleeve options, though! I love the big white pearly buttons that I ...Continue Reading
