This dress came about while I was in the middle of another dress project (more on that in a later post). Unfortunately, I realized I did not have a zipper for the dress and being that it was the 4th of July weekend, there was nowhere open to go buy a zipper. Being this was the Saturday before the 4th, I knew I could not go without sewing all the way to Tuesday--I would go into withdrawals. I decided it would be the perfect time to whip out the Ikat dress.

Wow a hour! It is very cute and the fabric was perfect.
I love it! The colors are great!
Very cute! I actually have this same fabric in my shopping cart for fabric.com, but i've never ordered fabric online and I'm a little unsure... I'm not very experienced with stretchy fabrics so its hard for me to know if I can handle it...What do you think? Is it a slippery/shiny fabric?
This looks great! I have that fabric in the "other" color, the purple and green. You're inspiring me to get to work on it!
Great choice of fabric for this patter, which really is a winner isn't it? I can't make anything in an hour either, well maybe a pillowcase!
nice, love your fabric choice
I love your dress! I have this pattern but have yet to pick a fabric for it. :]
Love Ikat! I have never owned anything that is Ikat but I love how it looks. Its too bad I have to use up my stash first!
Perfect summer dress,it looks fantastic on you. That Ikat print is great.
Perfect print for this pattern! This dress looks fab. Love your shoes too.
Word verification: style ;-)
Allison,
This fabric is not really shiny. It is very lightweight, but since is has rayon in it, it is a little wrinkly, but not too bad.
Lovely dress--love the fabric:)
Awesome! love the dress and the fabric
I have never been one for ikat print. It's a bit more Tribal. This Print is an exception. Something you would likely find at Anthro. The pattern is more Geometric and less Blurred than the most ikat. But it's the colors that make the print. I've never seen so many used together in an ikat print. The White Background is also unique.
The pattern of the dress reminds me of Anthro's Powdered Pigment Dress by Tracy Reese. Front and
Back
One address was very long. Hope my HTML works.
It amazes me how fast you can create such a beautiful piece of clothing Rachel. Your fabric choices are always unique and impeccable. You make me want to sew! Ha-ha!
Let me try that again Front and Back
Laura,
Thank you so much for those pics. I had not thought about the colors being so similar. I tried an inspired version of that Powdered Pigment dress awhile back, but it did not turn out quite like I wanted. I have since fixed it and need to get pics up.
This print is fantastic, especially with this pattern. What a great summer dress!
I like...I too have this pattern in my stash!
beautiful, the colors look great on you
perfect pattern for a perfect dress! Really cute, Rachael, and it it looks great on you!
This pattern is a favourite of mine too. Your fabric is perfect for it.
Love the dress and the fabric!
This is a double hit, love the fabric chosen for the dress and also it is so quick to make. Wow! This dress is a winner, so beautiful!
Great dress, Rachel. The fabric is just perfect, and you look marvelous in your ensemble.
When I made this dress I eliminated that back strap and stitched little thin ribbon lingerie guards with snaps at the shoulder seamline to keep the dress's shoulders in place. It works great. Just a thought, should you want to make the pattern again.
Thanks for visiting my blog! I have this pattern in my stash just waiting for me - good to see it written up! I might have to get to it sooner rather than later. :)
Again a great dress, totally loving it!
