Dressmaking 2


I thought the last dressmaking would be my first and last attempt but I made another one again!
This time there's no button or zipper closure, it's a simple slip-on dress that ties both sides at the waist with a thin black ribbon for a fitting form. I must have bought this cotton batik fabric in Singapore over 10 years ago but it's a perfect piece and I think the fabric pattern all worked well in the dress.
I can feel the summer slowly ending as it's getting cooler in the mornings and evenings, but I suppose I would still be able to wear this dress for a little while.

前回の洋裁が最初で最後かと思ったけれど、もう一枚作っちゃいました!今回はボタンもジッパーもないシンプルなかぶりのワンピース。両脇を黒いリボンで結んでウェストをしぼるのでシルエットがすっきりしてます。たぶんもう10年以上も前にシンガポールでこの綿のバティック生地を買ったと思うけど、まだ新品同様でしかも生地の模様もうまくワンピースにおさまっています。
このところ朝晩の気温が過ごしやすく涼しくなって夏が終わりそうな予感だけど、このワンピースはもう少しの間だけ着れそうです。
