Head on over to the Bluegingerdoll blog to read about my pattern tweaks. I even went outside and took pictures in the cold cause coordinating shoe shots are a must. ;)

New Bluegingerdoll Release - The Winifred Shirtdress
All weekend I've been mercilessly teasing my instagram followers with glimpses of the newest Bluegingerdoll pattern. Well release day is finally here and I can finally reveal my Winifred in full. Here she is all sewn up in luscious Liberty Lawn. Mmmmmm lawwwwnnnn
lovely! that fabric is so perfect!
ReplyDeleteNever too early!
ReplyDeleteI was waiting to see how this turned out - it's gorgeous on you! I like how you changed up the neckline and you have the perfect belt for this. This reminds me of the summer dress parade - oh how I wish it was summer...
ReplyDeleteHow cute are you?! This looks amazing!
ReplyDeleteSooo flattering! Great pattern for you and love your fabric choice.
ReplyDeletepretty, pretty!
ReplyDeleteI loved the fabric on instagram as you were teasing us and it looks even better now. Wasn't sold on this dress til now but I might reconsider.....
ReplyDeleteThis is so fabulous!! Must have it.
ReplyDeleteso beautiful!

ReplyDeleteThat is a good pattern for that fabric. It could have been easily overwhelming but I like how it just flows on you and looks relaxed. Awesome!!
ReplyDeleteLove it! I must try this pattern.
ReplyDeleteI am starting to think that resistance is futile... I love this so much!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you think the fabric choice was a good one for the pattern. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm feeling a little nostalgic about the summer dress parade too. Only a few more months. *huddles in front of the radiator*
ReplyDeleteThanks Ginger, I was a little nervous when starting this dress but I'm really happy with the final result.
ReplyDeleteThank you Lulumiss, I do like a good shirtdress. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Kristin. It's pretty comfortable too. Bonus!
ReplyDeleteMuhaahaa haa it's all part of my evil plan. /\. But I am really glad you like what I did with the pattern.
ReplyDeleteAll the patterns for you Laura, you can be my pattern princess in "training." *Not that you need training*
ReplyDeleteThank you Wendy, the bright colors really are great, especially this time of year.
ReplyDeleteThanks Andrea and it's Stash too. Bam!
ReplyDeleteWhy thank you dear sister. I believe you have picked up some fabric knowledge from handing out with us crazy twitter sewers.
ReplyDeleteThanks Cari, I hope you do try the pattern. I'd love to see some more sewn up.
ReplyDeleteYou will be assimilated...um I mean patterns are nice? ;)
ReplyDeleteLove it! I have been dying over that fabric all weekend!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous gorgeous fabric! I love this style on you & the addition of the smocking is great!
ReplyDeleteI love love love what you've done with this pattern! Especially the smoking. Cute!! Sewmanju.wordpress.com
ReplyDeleteHello! I did the shirring change but ended up with aLOT of extra fabric that bunches just below the shirring. I took 5/8 off the back to make up for not having a seam (should have been another 5/8) but even with my slight mess-up I don't understand why it bunches so badly. Any ideas?
ReplyDeleteI've bought hem weights to pull the bunching down a bit...
Thanks in advance!

I'm afraid there isn't much I can do for you to change your current dress. The nature of the shirring is to gather up the fabric, so there will always be a extra fabric below the area. If you wanted to change future versions you could further reduce the amount of ease in the back of the dress. Or use a lighter weight fabric will make the gathering of the shirring less noticeable.
