While I knew that I would be making another version of Vogue 2000, I didn't imagine that it would be in a print like this!
But some things just come together for a reason.
And now that I have finished the dress and worn it, I can safely say that this fabric was meant to be a wrap dress.
My only gripe with this design is that the sleeve cuffs make it difficult to get in and out of a coat. So what could be the perfect early Spring or late Fall garment becomes slightly less useful with changing weather patterns that require an extra layer.
Of course, I could eliminate the cuffs entirely, but they really do give that 1970s vibe, and I think they really add to the look (especially in a print like this!).
But, of course, I am sure that I will be making myself another version, probably close to full length if I ever find the right fabric. So I could always try the look without cuffs down the line.
My other gripe would be that this is a cotton/poly blend.
I am extremely distrustful of polyester and would like to purge the textile from my closet and everyone else's, quite frankly. This particular fabric was found at a fabric swap, and while I can feel that there is definitely some poly content in there, I would guess that it contains a fair amount of cotton. Here's hoping that it doesn't start to pill anytime soon.
To think that I was skeptical of this print! Turns out, my thought that it would make a perfect DVF wrap dress was right on the money! And you can never have too many wrap dresses.
