shirt dress take 2

I have this busy fabric I bought from my friend's factory and I was making a sample for our first bazaar...I still hate making shirt dresses...this one is from a Japanese book...it's still very tedious and since I had no stabilizer, I ended up using canvas grade muslin fabric for the button holes and buttons part...so hard to sew!  Drove me nuts

  1. Wow! I love this dress you made, good choice of fabric. Is the fabric like that or did you do some patchwork? The fabric is wonderful, is that batik. And are those covered buttons?

    Very creative background set up too for the photo shoot.

    May I know which Japanese book is this pattern from? very nice!

    Does this dress require more than 1 yard of fabric?

  4. Yes, it looks really nice, I second that one. The fabric doesn't look cheap!! It's cotton right?

    Can you enlighten me on:

    'I had no stabilizer, I ended up using canvas grade muslin fabric for the button holes and buttons part'

    What's stabilizer?

    What buttons are those?

    I was also nervous when I sewed my first button holes using sewing machine last Saturday, I may just ruin my whole morning's work if I didn't do the buttons properly.

    Sorry, so many questions!

  6. What a great job considering that you hate making it! It looks so stylish, you don't see a lot of kid's clothing with tie belt and sleeves buttons!
