I didn`t make so many pleats for just one garment before, I guess. But, it was worth the effort. The fabric source is an old scarf, I found at a flea market once. I felt in love with the colors and the soft linen. It was like made for the dress I had in mind.
I imagined a low waist dress, without a gathered skirt. So I just took the whole width of the scarf and pleated the bodice part. The pattern is self drafted. I pleated the fabric first, then I cut out the pattern pieces. That`s way easier than calculate all those pleats in the pattern.
I wanted to add tulip sleeves to one of my projects for a long time. I think it`s a good match with this dress.
I planned to attach pockets. Fabric was cut out and ready. I just forgot to sew them in. As I noticed my fault, I was too lazy to unpick the side seams, I left them out.
I love the plain and smooth look of this dress. I guess, it`s going to look even softer, when the linen crinkles after washing.

I ADORE this dress, the subtle yellow under the tulip sleeves is just beautiful. The softness, the colours. the stripes, the photography, my heart melts.

Beautiful! A little bit of the 1920 feelings, isn’t it?
yes, your right! it’s a bit a 1920 sihlouet with the low waist.
