As my daughter gets older the need for a slip or lining is becoming more apparent. After playing with this pattern and lining it awhile back, I figured out the other day how I could actually make this pattern reversible - two dresses in one!
~~~~~
Using two different prints, cut two (on fold) of the large dress piece for each print (total of four pieces).
Sewing the inner and outer dresses separately at this point, stitch the side seams for each one and press seams open.
RIGHT SIDES together, insert one dress inside the other.
Stitch the bottom hem, trim seam allowance to 1/4 inch and turn right side out. Top stitch hem or embellish with rick rack or ribbon.
Continue sewing Popover dress as instructed in the pattern with the yoke and ties making sure that the inner and outer dress fabrics are perfectly lined up at the top.
You now have the workings for a reversible dress.
Here's a link to my blog post showing the reversible dresses I made:
