I made 4 things out of 4 yards of beige velour: A long sleeved top, from New Look Pattern 6015, loosely based on view B, trying to replicate a top I bought back around 1976.
A tank top.
No pictures for the A-lined sleeveless dress and jacket, similar to ones I've made previously.Then I wanted to try this Vogue pattern out of this gold fabric. I didn't love the color, so it was no loss if I hated the dress.
Well, I remade the dress about 412 times, and it finally came out like this (note: you can see most of my office in this picture, which is why Thor sits right outside my office door and NOT inside it.)
Hubby likes the dress; says it's dramatic. I don't know if I like it or not. Ryan said it was weird. To that, Mark responded, "No, it's not. It looks like a cheerleader dress for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers."
Ryan: "Mom's too old to be a cheerleader."
Mark: "The (some team, I forget who, but he was specific) have a cheerleader who's 42 years old. So Mom's not too old and she's certainly pretty enough."
If I had a favorite child, Mark would have earned the distinction that day.

Giggle... Yay Mark!
And I had the same thought. It's the pleats, I think, that give it that cheerleader look.
Mark put a few brownie points in the bank, for sure !
I love all your outfits :-)
The dress has potential. If you like the silohette the godets need to be longer. Either make the dress longer or have the godets go higher.
Love Mark! Great comment - did you do a cheerleader jump at that point? g
I think the dress would be cute if the godets were in the same colour as the dress. The two-tone scheme gives the cheerleader look.
I LOVE how your office is full of fabric!
(Sorry- that was my husband's account above)
Well, I can understand why your husband likes the dress, but I am going to have to agree that it does have a cheerleader look to it. How ever do you manage pleats?

You never cease to amaze me at how fast and how well you sew!
