Disco party dress
Take one invitation to a disco 7th birthday party. Add a request for sparkles. Search out some lycra and stretch foil sequin remnants from GJs Discount Fabrics. Mix in New Look 6797, entirely inspired by a disco party top made by Nikki.
And you end up with this:
Clare decided to have the ties knotted at the back rather than at the front.
The sequinned fabric can be a little scratchy, so it is underlined and bound in the hot pink lycra on the top and some stretchy slinky gold something I found in the stash for the skirt. I left the sleeves as is – a little bit sheer, and not too scratchy because of the loose flutter shape.
A leftover piece of fabric made a super quick headband – cut to length and tied. She was very happy and has headed off to the party with a huge smile on her face. Apparently “Groovy Girl” is going to be there providing some dancing lessons, and there will be a mirror ball. Oh to be six years old turning seven!
This is just toooo sweet! Loves it!
Very cute! A little glittery star 🙂
Super sparkly glamour girl!!
It’s a good little pattern, isn’t it? Love it as a dress. I had my copy out the other day, contemplating a spot of summer sewing.
How adorable! Oops, I mean groovy! 🙂
Very cute and perfect for the theme. My daughter is jealous.
I bet that disco party went off !!!
Having seen it in the piece – in all its sparkliness – I can say it is totally disco! Its fabulous.
