If you're in Texas, you're probably sizzling in this heat wave, too, so what better way to stay cool than sewing another Sizzler Sundress from Naughty Bobbins? This time I've used a Whimsical Floral Digital Print Rayon Jersey Knit from Roz at Sew Much Fabric. As Brand Ambassador I have the privilege of choosing the fabric with which I want to sew. Last week I visited Roz in person with another knit in mind for this project, but once I spied this happy floral it stole my heart!
And now for a miracle find I'm just learning out about! The front of this dress has a gathered panel so it is not lined:
However, the bodice and back of the dress are lined. Roz introduced me to Tricot for lining. What planet have I been living on that I'm just discovering this wonder fabric?? It is simply divine:
The Sizzler may be my all time favorite dress. The finishing techniques are so professional and you end up with such a neat, beautifully made garment.
In addition to the crossed front V, I love the deep V in the back. But it's a perfect V- no bra peeking!
Perfect pattern, perfect fabric, perfect lining. If you have to brave the heat, you may as well do it in perfection!
