Pattern: Lady Skater dress by Kitschy Coo
Fabric: 2.3 m zebra patterned knit and
black cotton knit
Haberdasheries: none!
How many Lady Skater dresses is too many? I don’t know, but I do know
the answer isn’t four! So here’s my fifth one! (See my other four)
It is getting quite boring to use the same pattern, and cut the same
pieces, again and again, but I like these dresses so much and they are so easy
to combine, that I really want more of them! And on the plus side, at least I
can just get started and don’t need to make a toile. This time, it was even
more of the same, because the zebra fabric I found was very thin and needed another
layer of fabric underneath it, so basically I had to cut two dresses to make
one. But I’m happy with the result. I like bright coloured animal prints :).
The skirt is the original length, as in the pattern. Once again, I made
elbow length sleeves, my favourite sleeve length for Skater dresses, and a low
neckline at the back. And as the zebra fabric, which I got on Etsy, came in a
fixed length which was enough to make a shirt as well, I did!
