Carol's Trapeze Dress in Black eyelet

Carol paired The Trapeze Dress pattern from Merchant & Mills with our Black Floral Cotton Eyelet for a simple and smashing summer dress. Carol cut the dress on the cross grain to make use of the scalloped edge, eliminated the back button detail, used a plain weave black fabric for the neck facing and added a strip of the scalloped edge at the sleeve hem.

Shown here over a simple black slip. Carol will wear the dress over a black camisole and floatly linen pants.

SHOP COLLECTION

marcy sewn: v1750 in reva hand embroidered cotton

When I first saw a swatch of this fabric I was so charmed I knew I had to have it! Produced in India, we waited months to receive our order. Natural white cotton gauze is hand embroidered in small simple stitches creating an overall design. Made in 5 yard lengths, and available in 3 color ways, I try to imagine the hands that worked to create this beautiful fabric. I chose Reva, the black and white version and used pattern V1750, a favorite go to pattern with a simple airy shape - a modern take on the classic Indian kurta. I paired the embroidered cotton with Tribeca Dot Plissé - which is a perfect weight, design and color match.

This is a fabric that wants to stand on its own, so choose a simple style with few seams.

Pattern tweaks:
Used a continuous lap for the front neck opening, raising the opening so no buttons are required.

Made the collar/neck a bit larger, so adapted the collar to fit.

Used the contrast fabric for the continuous lap, undercollar, sleeve facing and bias facing at the hem.

B6771 in 5 liberty prints

Taking a nod from RTW shirts using Liberty fabrics that retail in the $900-$1100 range, we created our own version. The only thing better than one Liberty print is combining a grouping of Liberty prints in one garment. As an experiment, we cut one yard of 5 different prints for this shirt. Katherine is a master at the art of combining prints in one garment as well as deciding the placement. She played with possibilities, then pinned the selected print to the pattern piece. (In another nod to the RTW versions we eliminated the collar).

Tips from Katherine on combining prints:
The more fabrics you have to work with, the easier the deicison making.
Choose colors that harmonize but are not exactly match-y match-uy.
Use prints of varying scale/size.
Start with the front.
Decide on the placement of the main pieces.
Make the placket different from those on either side.
Choose the back fabrics so the patterns that meet at the side seam are different.
Choose the fabric for the sleeves which is determined by what is next to them.

One of the sleeves might match the fabric it is next to - and this is fine.

Shirt pattern Butterick 6771 is perfect for this project as it has a number of pattern pieces that lend to the blending of different designs. After the shirt was cut, there is enough fabric left to make another entire garment.

We used: Encanta, Lotus Land, Adonis Blue Butterfly, Meadowland and Pink Lady Slipper.
