My third wiggle dress, beer and cake

After making a wiggle dress in stretch fabric and one in wool, I've decided to make another one in silk. I finished it on sunday, but my lapped zipper was super wonky and had to be ripped out.. 

First time photographing silk, I guess you see all the wrinkles!

Then my dog Milo wasn't feeling all too well, so I had to take him to work to get him checked out. Because of that I only changed the zipper today, but now it's ready to be blogged about!

At least he hasn't lost his appetite..

That's at least two of the perks of being a vet, you get a lot of cake and you can bring your dog when he's feeling a bit under the weather..

WIP: Wiggle in process..

After the love story that was my last wiggle dress I've decided to make another one.

This time I wanted to make one that was more suited for summer so I choose a silk from my stash that's dark blue with red polka dots.. 

It was a coupon which cost me 2.50 euro, not bad for enough silk to make a short sleeved wiggle dress out of right?

I can almost make it without the instructions, but just to be sure..

At the same time I cut out my Maritime shorts pattern, this will be the first Grainline Studio pattern that I'm going to make, as well as my first pair of shorts ever, so I'm quite excited!

Gertie’s wiggle dress, or how I almost ruined my parents dining room table..

This is actually the second wiggle dress I made, the first one quickly became one of my favorite dresses for going out, so I decided to make another one in wool.

The smug face after an averted disaster

Apart from the changes I made to the pattern for the first one (take it in at the hips) I also had to lenghten the darts in the back, because my first wiggle dress was showing some fabric bulges. At first I thought it needed a swayback adjustment, but after I lenghtened the darts the problem was solved! Easy peasy. I also changed the neckline a bit, I really like the shape of this neckline..
