Style Arc Dixie dress in the sunshine

Just a quick post today!  The sun has just been out for a little while, so I thought I'd quickly snap a couple of photos of the Style Arc Dixie dress being worn.



Hopefully these will give you a better idea of fit etc.  As I mentioned yesterday, I made a Style Arc size 10, and the only alteration I made was a 1 inch sway back adjustment. 

Beajay mentioned in her comment on yesterdays post that the neckline looked higher than on the line drawing, and you can see that it is a little higher.  It's not uncomfortably high though, and it would be easy enough to make it a little lower if you so desired.



I'm not quite sure what I was doing with my head in this photo, I think trying to flick my fringe out of my eyes as although the sun is out, it's quite windy!

Anyway, I hope these photos are helpful!

      Thanks Manju. It is very comfy, I'm loving looser dresses at the moment.

      Thanks Maria. The sun is a bit intermittent at the moment, so I'm enjoying it when it makes an appearance.

    That looks fabulous on and the neckline doesn't look so high now. Great fabric choice.

    it looks fantastic! And I love that you have the sleeves at 3/4 length, it helps balance out the higher neckline, for sure.

      Thanks Julie. I did cut the sleeves full length initially, but they were too much.
