Pink and Grey Romper

Hello RUMS
Your Sexy Mamma
My goddaughter wouldn't leave the frame, so here she is posing next to her mom!
 
 
Fabric: Knit pink striped and shimmery grey
Pattern: Easy McCall's M6083 View D
 
 
This romper is comfy, but my poor model almost had a heat stroke under this Phoenix heat!!!!
 
 
Love this pattern, I wouldn't change a thing! And as always POCKETS!!!!!! Which are made from the bodice fabric.
 
 
And because I didn't have enough pink fabric, I choose to create the shorts in a shimmery grey knit remnant.
 
 
There's a subtle detail on the shoulder, which adds interest to the garment.

Navy blue-see-thru dress!!

Stretch navy blue dress....... let there be a breeze!!
 
 
Fabric: Two-way stretch navy blue knit and another grey/white remnant with a whole lot of holes :)
Pattern: Self-drafted from an existing dress
 

Front and back
The front and back blue panels for the skirt are the same, and there are 4 grey side panels.
Next time, I will add pockets :)
 
 
I thought an element of sexiness would be to lower the drape on the back, but unfortunately I had to wrestle with the bra in order to hide it.
 
 
I love, love, absolutely looooooove sewing with knits, because all that is required is an overlock :)
All seems were sewn with a speedylock and the hems with a coverpro.

 
Even though the blue fabric is somewhat thick, the dress still flows as I walk and feels light...... not to mention there is plenty of air fluctuation thanks to those side panels.

 
I still need to add a strap to connect the shoulders in the back, because the sleeves fall off. 
However, I managed to take photos without giving you guys a strip show :)
Allow this breeze to take you to RUMS
