Drape Drape no. 17 (aka granny squares)

Here's another of my favourite dresses that I've made (in 2010) but that didn't get a run in Me Made May 12.

This dress is made out of the most amazing silk chiffon from Tessuti in Sydney, it's called Winter Evening Leaves. For those of you in Australia, you might have watched Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries and noticed that Phryne had a top made out of this fabric.
The pattern is number 17 from Drape Drape and I must admit that it was difficult for me to put together (as the pattern is crazy and in Japanese).  Just check out the pattern  that you had to trace and stick together.

Luckily the lovely Polly helped me with it.  It was the first outing for my overlocker and gosh I was glad I had just bought it!
I made it first for a wedding in Perth where I accessorised it with black and black beads.  Then I wore it for a friend's absolutely beautiful garden wedding  (different people so I could get away with it!!!) and I accessorised it much more 'me' as I'm not a bead person and wore different shoes.

 Lastly, my sister wore it for my brothers wedding.  

I adore this dress.
