Stripy Colette Wren Dress

This month for my Minerva project I chose the Colette Wren pattern and some stripy black and teal Ponte Roma to make it in.

Colette Wren dress

The Colette Wren dress is a pattern which I hadn’t really noticed much, until Me Made May came along and I saw a few cute versions out there.  I think the envelope photo does it absolutely no favours – the dress shown (version one – the sleeveless dress with a 6 gore skirt) is an insipid colour, the fabric looks too sheer and I think it looks too tight!  I chose the pattern for version 2 – short sleeved, wrap style bodice with a gathered a-line skirt.

Nope.

The dress was very easy to make – I made it in one day and wore it out to the pub that night!  If you want to read more about it, see my post over on Minerva’s blog here.
