Treadlette Tuesday: Nina's Knit Dress

Bright color and eye-catching contrast define this simple fall dress that's ready for layering! Treadlette Nina made this cute dress using two complementary shades of solid ponte knit with contrast color-block pockets and neckband trim.


Nina used New Look 6298, a simple dress with options, including those huge pockets that we all dream of!

Treadlette Tuesday: An Asymmetric Dress

Today's Treadlette garment is this knit & woven dress made by me, Elizabeth! I chose Burda 6352 (shown below) because I loved the asymmetric shape and the use of both woven and knit fabric.


The top is a cotton jersey, while the skirt is a floral printed rayon challis with tons of swishy drape.


One note on this pattern: it runs VERY large. I went two sizes down from my usual size in the bust and waist and it was still incredibly roomy. I also cut the skirt just a bit shorter than the long version because I didn't want that front point trailing on the ground!


Otherwise, this project was super simple and sewed up very fast! Just right to add to my fall wardrobe!
