How did the\u00a0sewing\u00a0go?<\/strong><\/p>\n

My beautiful niece was getting baptized and my sister asked me if I would make her a baptism dress. I knew right away I would use an Oliver + S pattern, and settled on the Roller Skate Dress.<\/p>\n

It’s such a versatile pattern. I\u2019ve used it many times for casual dresses, but because it’s fully lined, I knew it would also be easy to make it work for a more formal dress.<\/p>\n

I went with view A and made the whole dress from satin, with a white acetate lining. The only modification I made was to lengthen the dress, from the hem, by about 8″.<\/p>\n

To finish, I measured out some beaded trim and attached a satin ribbon to each side, as I wanted to create a bow at the back.<\/p>\n

I then sewed the trim and ribbon onto the dress by stitching in the ditch over the trim\/ribbon join at the side seams of the dress.<\/p>\n

A few hand tacks through the trim ensured it stayed in place, with no sagging, and finished the dress.<\/p>\n

What was the best part?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The best part about this pattern is how well-drafted it is! I know when I sew with an Oliver + S pattern, that I\u2019m going to get a beautiful finish (and learn something, too).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
