Margaret made a lovely camel poly blend slim fitted dress with puff sleeves and skirt length to mid calve.

Margaret made this dress from Pattern Vogue 8280. Margaret used the original sleeve pattern as designed and omitted the shoulder pleating and replaced it with gathering.

Margaret lined her dress with gorgeous red satin lining!

The sleeves were padded along with boning from the shoulder seam to the hemline.

We fitted Margaret’s dress exactly to her body shape as you can see here. She also added a wide black leather belt to complete the outfit.

Margaret was delighted with the result and couldn’t wait to wear it out of the sewing school and to her special occasion! She highly recommends this pattern and will definitely made it again.

Well done Margaret you did a fabulous job!

Happy Sewing,
