I think that I may have given a sneak peek at Stella’s sleeveless tulip dress a couple of blog posts earlier!  Here is the other version of Nicole Mallalieu’s Tulip dress pattern.

The bodice is fully lined for the sleeveless version. Once again, the pattern is beautifully drafted and the neckline and armholes sit perfectly. Here’s the back:

The fabrics are dressmaking cottons with a bit of stretch that have been lurking in my stash for a considerable time. Stella’s dress is in size 2 and is pretty roomy. I have the same dress in the same fabrics cut out for Clare in a size 6 that will hopefully be sewn together before the end of the week. And here it is in action.

And then I was sprinting down the corridor to catch up with her.

The Tulip dress pattern isn’t quite ready for sale yet – keep an eye on Nikki’s blog and/or website for updates.  It shouldn’t be too far away!
