Room to Breathe

When I made my last Lisette Portfolio dress I mentioned that things were a wee bit firm around my bust.
Well,my mooboobie's if I am to be completely honest.
I have made several in heavier fabric without a problem but I did feel the voile I used was pulling a bit.
And,lets face it,room to move is nice in High Summer!
So,when I was making my next version,as I was cutting the centre front piece I moved it a couple of inches back from the fold.
In the soft voile it gathered up nicely.
It completely changes the look of this garment.
Very relaxed.
You don't get much more relaxed then the 'classic' white rubber thongs.

PS I hope you had a lovely New Year. We spent the day kayaking on the local man made lake.

      It is perfect Millie,nice long sleeves for sun protection but the voile is so cool to wear.
      Happy New Year to you too!

    Look at your little one, just thriving on those mooboobies! :-) I am currently suffering from a case of the GINORMOUS mooboobies myself, so I can appreciate the need for some breathing room (to be honest, I wear mostly knit tops just for this reason). This dress is truly lovely, and it looks perfect for a blazing hot New Year's Day.

    Thank Inder,yes,some extra room is always nice and it makes it easier to pull up to feed/nurse.
    I do love this print,so so different from my usual monochromatic wardrobe.
    The voile dried so quickly after my turn in the kayak.
