Okay, so they're not really wild at all, but I do much prefer the thought of horses running free across a plain somewhere. I decided I had to make this dress when I found the vintage horse fabric in our local Recycling Centre. It's a drapey sage-green cotton, with horses galloping along under a cloudy sky. I didn't have enough of the fabric to make a bodice so I bought some fine linen in a similar green- it's not an exact match but I'm not too fussed. I used a New Look pattern- number 6457– which I was happy with, although I probably should have lined the bodice for comfort reasons, but it's nothing a slip underneath won't fix.
I do love making dresses, even if they end up overpopulating my wardrobe, somewhat.
Enjoy your Monday.
