Another Vogue 8593...and a Burda Skirt (09/2008 #108)

First I have to say it again, I LOVE THIS NECKLINE !

This is another rendition of Vogue 8593 from my previous post, and i know i said i was going to do top, but i just couldn't help myself! I love dresses! Although i probably own more pants~dresses are my favorite thing to wear!

This is a matte jersey fabric..from Fashion Fabric Club. A previous post shows all the fabrics I brought in this shipment and I honestly haven't brought any new fabric since then. I have to say...most of my sewing friends have way way more fabric than i do...and i'm not so particular in my fabric selections and types of fabrics as they are...with that said; I use what i buy and i buy what i like! and normally i make purchases of fabric without a garment in mind! I pretty much do the same with patterns!

Buy anywho...this is the full length photo!

This skirt, is a very old, Burda Magazine pattern that i have become very found of lately. I have made a few of them and just didn't even think to take photos of them.

although i have to admit, i'm not that into taking photos of my myself, i enjoy being behind the camera more than infront! And that's weird because i went to modelinng school and everything (Patricia Stevens) when i was younger and quickly found out...that was not for me!! hahaha The things parents put their kids in, to find their interest!  smh...because i do it too, now that i'm a parent!!

Back to the pattern...it's a very easy skirt. Front pleats. Back zipper, although i put my zipper on the side. Contoured waistband. and angled side seams.

The pattern also called for belt loops for a skinny belt which i left off. The top is RTW. I think this skirt might deserve a blazer or vest. I pulled out a project runway vest pattern, that i may try to squeeze in, but i am really wanting to enter one of Pattern Review's upcoming contest, but unless my guy agrees to model for me, than i guess it will have to be the Red Dress Contest! but i would really really prefer the Men's Wear one instead.

Well..that's it for now..
Have a fabulous weekend everyone!
