Pattern: Cambie dress by Sewaholic Patterns
Size: Straight size 6
Fabric: Cotton Linen Mix from Croft Mill (No longer available it seems)Alterations: Had to take it in a bit at the zipper and side seams… maybe the 4 is a better fit for me
I’ve had the Cambie Dress pattern in my collection for a really long time but never got around to finishing it. I am so happy with how this dress turn out! It fits like a glove and is so comfortable and easy to wear. I feel like it’s the sort of dress that I can wear to work, out to dinner or even to a wedding. So many options!
The fabric is a linen cotton mix that I ordered from the Croft Mill without seeing it in person. I just love the pattern and it’s just a really me dress. I’ve been really happy with my orders from there. I have to say the fabric is always really good quality. I lined the dress with a lightweight white cotton that I had in my stash.
I ended up having to take the dress in a little at the side seams and zipper. In a dress like this I prefer a little less ease and really like how it fits now. I also really love the shape created by the shoulder straps and A-Line skirt. As a pear shaped girl I really appreciate Tasia’s designs and patterns. They really do flatter!
Have you guys made the Cambie dress? I’d love to see some other versions. I might make one with the gathered skirt option before the summer is finished.
