Just a suggestion- shorten the sleeves to 3/4 length....that may look more "dressy".

Living in hot, humid Houston, TX rayon challis is one of my preferred fabric for garments as it breaths and feels so great on my skin. Yes, it's a bit fussy to sew but I serge all the seams to remedy the fraying. I make all my nightgowns and most of my tunic tops/blouses with rayon challis.

You look lovely in your dress! I do like the unbelted version, too!

Maybe it just needs some time for you to like it, because it was difficult to sew. The armscye isn't noticeable because of the busy print.When I saw the pictures all I thought was how pretty you look and how well the fabric and your hair work together. I'm glad you two had a lovely anniversary:)Fröbelinahttp://www.froebelina.de/en[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3748043061128192357.post-60233537188192271762017-03-20T00:30:45.942-04:002017-03-20T00:30:45.942-04:00Rayon is very difficult to work with - it does fray, it slides all over the place as well. I'm gradually getting the feel of it, but it does take time. I'm sorry you had so many upsets with the dress - it happens to us all. No-one will notice the armscyes, and with a belt, you can wear this quite happily. I like the other version too, and don't think it looks bad, but maybe just not your taste in this fabric.Sarah Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17566072246120028926[email protected]
