Recreating Ready to Wear: Plaid Shirt Dress



As part of my Recreating Ready to Wear series I have been lucky enough to team up with the Minerva Crafts Blogger Network for a few posts.  The first of my projects went live on their site earlier this week, and is a recreation of this dress from Next. 



Using Vogue DKNY V1488 (now sadly out of print due to licencing changes) and some lovely cotton and viscose fabric I created my own version.



You can read all about what I did and how I did it here on the Minerva Crafts website. 

I might be slightly biased, but I prefer my version to the original!

    1. It's not the easiest pattern to sew - although it might be easier if you don't fiddle about with it like I did - but it's definitely worth the effort.
