Create This Look – 2 Tone Chiffon – Mango
Happy Monday! I’ve been waiting for ModCloth to restock this dress, but I’m impatient, so I going to share it with you now! ;P The dress is called “Marvelous In Manhattan.” This is such a super cute style, so fun for spring.
I chose our 2 Tone Chiffon, but I went with a Mango color instead of this Coral color. We do have a coral color that is really similar, but we have more of the Mango color in stock. I’ll post the Coral option later in the post.
Since this is Chiffon, lining is strongly recommended. Our Mango Cotton/Rayon is a great color match. It looks different in the pictures, but in person they look really good together.
I chose M6952 by Mccalls for the pattern. I recommend using View A. The best detail of this dress is the layered skirt. I couldn’t find a pattern with this detail, but I did find a tutorial that shows you how to cut out this spiral shape. Unfortunately the pattern is written in Dutch, but the pictures seem pretty descriptive. If anyone has any other suggestion for creating this spiral skirt please impart your wisdom, it would be greatly appreciated!
The pattern recommends using Medium-Weight Wovens & Stable Knits such as Crepes, Crepe de Chine, Jerseys, Interlock Knits, etc. It also recommends using lace for the contrast fabric on View A. The fabrics I have chosen are a little thinner than the fabrics recommended for this pattern, but I think since you are using two fabrics you should be fine. Check out these other fun options for this look:
I hope you’ve been inspired by this weeks look! Be sure to check back next week to see the next all new look. I know I say it every week, but please post pics here on our Blog, on Facebook, & follow us on Pinterest. We love to hear what you are up to. Have An Awesome Week!
