Bonn Dress | mixing fabrics

Scroll down for english, please. 


Ando para vos mostrar este vestido há um par de semanas. Tinha-o imaginado desde Novembro, mas foi sendo adiado, adiado... Na verdade, a vontade de o fazer já vem de bem mais atrás, logo em 2016, quando testei o molde, na altura versão camisa, fiquei com vontade de o fazer novamente. A ideia de o fazer na versão vestido é que é mais recente. 

I've been wanting to show you this dress for a couple of weeks. I had imagined it since November, but was postponed multiple times... In reality, the will to make it has been here from far, far behind, when in 2016 I tested this pattern, back then in the shirt option. The idea of making the dress version is more recent though. 


Na altura em que publiquei a camisa, comentei que não é a peça de roupa que mais gosto, no entanto, desde então, comecei a gostar um pouco mais. Os vestidos camiseiros, são uma peça que me foram chamando a atenção gradualmente, e assim nasceu a minha vontade de fazer um. 

Back when I posted the shirt, I mentioned this is not one of my fave garments to wear, still, my taste has slightly changed since then. Button-up dresses, are part of the reason I graduatelly changed my mind about it and that's why I planned on making myself one. 


Procurei nos vários moldes de revistas que tenho, mas no fim achei que o Bonn Shirt and Dress da Itch to Stitch, era mesmo o ideal para o que eu pretendia fazer e por isso, a minha escolha recaiu sobre ele. Desta vez porém, em vez de fazer o tamanho mais pequeno, fiz o outro a seguir e fiquei bem mais satisfeita do que com a camisa. Tenho movimentos mais livres. 

I searched through my magazine patterns, but in the end, Itch to Stitch's Bonn Shirt and Dress pattern, was right what I had in mind, and so I used it. This time though, I did make a bigger number instead of the smaller as I did for the shirt, and I am glad I did because I do move better in this one. 


Já na altura, tinha comentado que a fazer uma nova camisa, teria de ajustar a altura por ser baixinha. E foi o que fiz com o vestido. Não só retirei uns 2,5cm na linha da cintura, como depois ainda tirei mais ou menos o mesmo na bainha para aproveitar o tecido ao máximo. Usei três diferentes e não sabia muito bem se ia dar bom resultado ou não. Até cheguei a perguntar a opinião a quem me segue pelo IG. Ainda assim fui em frente. 

Also back then, I mention I should cut it shorter if I was making it again, so I did this time. I took about 1" off the waist line but I also cut off about another inch in the hem to make the most out of the fabric I had. I used three different fabric pieces and I wasn't too sure this would work, I even asked about it on my IG. I still went for it though. 


Antes de mais nada, sabia que o queria tons escuros que são os meus preferidos, são poucas as cores vivas que gosto realmente. Depois desde que o recebi que sabia que queria usar o tecido das chaves em algo para mim, no entanto, só tinha tipo uns 30-40cm dele. Fez parte da tal caixa com tecidos que me enviaram há um par de anos. Assim que arrisquei a cortar apenas uma das frentes do vestido neste tecido (que penso ser um crepe), usando-o a contra-fio, cruzando os dedos para que resultasse. 

Before hand, I knew I wanted dark tones as these are my top choice, there are little bright colors I enjoy. Then, after I got this key fabric I knew I wanted to use it on something for myself, but it was only about 12"-15" long. It came to me with a box of fabric I was donated a couple of years ago. So I took the risk and went with just one of the front pieces in this fabric (which I believe to be a crepe), using it contrary to the grainline and crossing my fingers so it'd work. 


Além desse tecido, usei uma cambraia muito leve que tinha comprado há alguns anos localmente. O problema é que era um retalho e parte do fundo do tecido estava escrito. Para o aproveitar ao máximo precisei de encurtar na altura do vestido e também fazer o cinto em duas peças em vez de uma e mais estreito do que no molde. O terceiro e último tecido, foi a organza que usei nas mangas, que também não abundava porque foi o que sobrou da túnica da miúda

Apart from that fabric, I used a very light batiste that I had bought locally many years so. The problem with this one was that it was just a scrap and part of it was written on. To make the most of thi, I shortened the lenght of the dress, and also used two pieces instead of one to make the belt, besides making it narrower too. The third fabric was this black organza that wasn't much either, it was what was left after making my daughter's top, and was now used for the sleeves. 


Alguns detalhes do vestido acima. O tecido das chaves usei-o também na gola e nos punhos. O cinto é colocado na cintura com aselhas de linha aos lados, e estes botões! Há cerca de um mês recebi uma "herança" de uma senhora que já não costura, que guardou botões numa lata de biscoitos grande durante toda a vida. Havia tantos, e tão bonitos. 

Some details from the dress above. The keys fabric was also used in the collar and bottom sleeves. The belt is attached to the waist by this thread eyelet, and these buttons! About a month ago I sort of got a "heritage" from an old lady who doesn't sew anymore and hás saved buttons in a cookies tin all her life. There were so many, and so pretty.

  2. Yes it is. I also didn't like shorts when I was a tween and now I could live in them on warmer days!! Thank you Jenya, I really think you should make one too. It's such a nice piece to wear and so comfortable too.
