#SewAngelicThreads: My Lady McElroy Retro City Scape (beautiful) Dress

ABOUT ME

I am Angela and I love to sew. I started sewing as a child and by the time I was a teenager I was wearing the very latest fashions to go out in. All me-made. I am passionate about reducing the amount of textiles sent to landfill, and encourage you to repurpose fabrics and clothes I started this blog in order to have a way in which to pass on my gained knowledge, and my professional knowledge to you, Sewing is empowering, you can save money by making items, make money by selling then, You can pass your knowledge on to others. What is there not to love? Interestingly I am a direct descendant of the Flemish weavers who came over to England in the 1300's. I find that fascinating especially as most of my family from as far back as I can trace are somehow involved in the manufacturing of fabric . . I have a degree in tailoring with a special interest in WW2 fashion.

My Lady McElroy Retro City Scape (beautiful) Dress

This is a #MCBN Post

I have a confession to make. I love Lady McElroy Fabrics. The designs are superb, They are always elegant and very wearable. The fabric is top quality cotton lawn which is a delight to wear as it is so gentle against the skin. The premium Cotton doesn't fade, it is easy to sew and a delight to wear. I love it.

This fabric, named City Scape, comes in two colours , this is the navy which I am enhancing further by the addition of orange corded piping to not only add a pop of colour but to enhance the clever seams on the pattern.

Please do visit the MinervaCrafts web site and read how I constructed this fabulous dress. Did I mention it is lined too?
