Hello! Today's Monday post is about our Sunday dress. We finished it about two weeks ago. Several times my mom cursed the numerous tucking in the front and bag and I also had a hard time making the French knots. However we both really liked and like the result. The pleats (I don't know whether this is the right English translation) are loosely fixed by the white knots but are free to move and shimmer.
Der heutige Post am Montag ist eigentlich ein nachgereichter Sonntagskleideintrag. Dieses Kleid haben wir vor ca. 2 Wochen fertiggemacht. Nach mehreren Fluchen über die vielen Falten auf der Vorder- und Rückseite mutter- und tochterseits, waren wir beide mit dem Resultat der vielen Arbeit zufrieden. Die Falten sind nur lose durch französische Knoten fixiert, können sich aber bewegen und so schimmert das Kleid.

Wow, great idea with the french knots! Beautiful!
woaw, another beautiful creation!
I enjoy reading your posts. Thanks for your comments on my kimono dress, in fact I used a pattern for a kaftan ( Burda july 2008) and altered it quite a lot- cut off sleeves and unit the front part as well as make it all from one piece and not two as shown in the pattern. The smocks are not really smocks beacuse I do not know the technique, just pleats gathered on the front part + a bow.
Those pleats (yes, correct English word) and french knots look like an awful lot of work! It looks great though. Do you design your own or use patterns?
I adore this dress and the cute bag you finished above!
Thank you for your sweet comment over on CC this morning! All the best!
