I’ve finished my, how to sew from Japanese craft books, series on label-free. And here is the dress:

Wrap dress
The only thing I’m not sure about is the belt. You can barely see it because of the pattern on the fabric but I widened it from 2″ to 4″.

Project Notes
Pattern: dress 7 from Japanese craft book ISBN-10: 4579111494 (ISBN-13: 978-4579111497)
Fabric: 100% cotton
Size: enlarged a size 13

What do you think?

  1. wow- you are one heck of a sewer (is that how you spell it?).
    love your drawings!

  2. Oh, I love it! And I want it! And it’s just my size! It looks wonderful on you!

  3. It’s beautiful! I would make five of those so I’d have one for each day of the week!

  4. Ha! I laughed out loud at Alan’s reaction. That is such a *guy* reaction to clothing. I agree with Isabelle; I think it’s pretty!

  5. You look stunning in that dress! Great job and great pattern selection.

    Alan should see my ratty old terry man’s robes — or not!

  6. i think it’s beautiful! it fits you very well and in no way resembles a robe! men just say what ever pops into their heads!

  7. I think your dress looks great! And 100% cotton? It has a nice, flattering drape on you. The pattern works well too. Thanks for sharing your process.

  8. I love the dress, it looks lovely on (and not robe like at all).

  9. Robe schmobe. :) If you want the belt to pop, it should be in a solid color … but I’m not sure the belt needs to pop. I think the dress looks fabulous on you. And I love the fabric.

  10. I love it! Oh, and that is so a comment that my husband would make too. You’ve almost made me brave enough to try out a japanese pattern! Thanks for all of the hard work.

  11. Very nice! My husband told me one of my favorite rainbow dresses looks like a curtain, so…

    Maybe a black belt would make it less robe-ish. Haha!

  12. love the dress, love the belt, good width, maybe shorten it a bit?

  13. I love your robe dress. I didn’t think it looked like a robe until Alan said so but none the less it is a beautiful robe-like-dress. I like the belt too in whatever pattern or color. Wish Ebow was invited to that cool b-day party. We are envious. Eeeeeeeeeeew, I am with Alan, those specks are poo.

  14. WOW! i love that dress! i cannot believe all the things you are able to sew, so pretty.
