Cashmerette Upton dress!

When I first saw this pattern, I knew it would be a winner!  The styling is so cute!  I simply had to make it! 

I made a size 12, the smallest size in this pattern range with the C/D cup.  I love how Jenny includes separate cup sizes for you.  This takes all the guess work out of making a garment fit properly!

Can I tell you how much I love this fabric?  I found it on clearance at Hobby Lobby.  It is actually upholstery fabric which is a choice that Jenny recommends for this dress. 

I was concerned it might stick out too far at the hips, but I don't think it does.

It seems to be the perfect weight for this dress.

I eliminated the bodice lining, raised the neckline an inch and a half and that's it.  To deal with the neckline and armscye finishes, I created matching bias tape.

I love how this fits and I really, really love my fabric!  Even though it is an upholstery, it is washable and it washed beautifully!  Can you see how there isn't any gaping at the arms? 

I see more of these dresses in my future!

Thanks for reading!
