“The leopard is a solitary animal of the bush and forest and is mainly nocturnal in habit, although it sometimes basks in the sun”….story of my life.
I created a silk caftan dress in Leopard for Sequin Saturday in The Jen Dress, and it is my new best friend.
This time, I made it just to my ankle and used a rolled hem and French seams. It is practically reversible, except for the Sequin Saturday dress label on the neckline. I have to wear a nude or black slip under it, but because it’s so flowy and sheer, it adds to the vava voom factor. I love it.
Finding this type of silk is so exciting because it is so light and airy and really creates the perfect silk caftan. My fabric source just opened up a new warehouse this month, so hopefully I will find some new silk prints that can roll into fall.
My 4 cm and 6 cm rolled hem presser foot just arrived for my Bernina sewing machine too, so I am going to start using it and hopefully speed up my process to make each of the caftan dresses. Next dress up is the Leisha Dress in White Silk for a white party or Bridal collection. Stay tuned!
