As promised, here are photos of the other Cambie dress that I’ve made! 🙂
Red paisley Cambie dress
This pattern is the Sewaholic Cambie in the full skirted version. I’ve also made the a-line version as well. I made this dress out of a red paisley cotton that I picked up for a steal at Discount Fabrics in Berkeley. I am not usually a big fan of red, but I have been trying to get more in my wardrobe as I know it looks good with my complexion.

I really didn’t do much to alter this dress other than I had to grade it up to fit me. I lined this with red cotton batiste and used some of the lining for my tie belt. I skipped the invisible zipper as I: a) didn’t have one and b) am lazy. This dress definitely looks better with an invisible zipper, but still looks good with a regular one, especially if you have a busy print like I chose here.

I just love this dress and I get so many compliments when I wear it. It’s definitely not a dress that you can hide in though, as everyone notices you! But who wants to stand in the background anyway? 🙂

Oh I love your Cambie!!! I’ve been wanting to make one of these but wasn’t sure how it would look on my plus size figure and I don’t enjoy having to grade up patterns but this one looks so worth the effort. I agree with you about red suiting you as you look gorgeous in this dress so it’s no wonder you get lots of compliments when you where it 🙂
Thank you! Grading it up is well worth the effort as its such a great pattern. I’m sire it will look great on you!
You’re welcome Tanya and thanks for letting me know. I’ve now added the pattern back on my list of “To Sew” projects 🙂
Beautiful! The dress is, too. 😉 You’re right, red is a gorgeous color on you. And those shoes are perfect. Love it!!
Thank you, Katie!
