Another adjusted martini

Around a year ago, I sewed myself the Martini dress from La Maison Victor in a teal flower fabric from Lillestoff. The dress was such a success with my husband that I quickly sewed another in black an white. The Martini has a beautiful but distinctive neckline, I didn't want others to immediately see that I used the same pattern, so I made a normal round neckline. I have been planning to sew myself more dresses but didn't really come around to it until I won fabric from Lillestoff. Now my creative self sewing juices are flowing again.

When Joyfits showed this fabric on her Facebook page it immediately went into my digital cart and I figuratively raced to check out (usually I load my cart and surf away from the page at least a few times before I buy) because I knew this would be sold out quickly.

When it arrived, my middle daughter looked at it lovingly but I stayed strong and turned the one meter into another adjusted Martini dress. I love it, it is very bold and very colorful.The fit is perfect.

I didn't pay attention to the fabrics print when cutting my pieces, now I actually ended up with a not-ideal cutting at the back side. On the left, the same pattern repeats a few centimeter from each other. On the pictures it might look that the neckline is a bit wobbly. That is an illusion because of the print there, I managed to position a horizontal horizon line at the top of my chest. The fabric actually curves perfectly around my chest.

Next time I will lower the neckline and might choose a different neckline shape.

I love to hear what you think of my creations. Feel free to leave a comment in the language you prefer (although Google translate might have to assist me if you choose something different than English, German, Dutch or Hungarian).
