The Clara Dress




At the end of last year I had some birthday and Christmas money burning a hole in my pocket – but couldn't find anything I wanted in the shops. 

I kept coming back to this dress and decided to splurge and buy the pattern and the stunning Nani Iro double gauze fabric that is featured on the original.

I love how it turned out – the fabric is so beautiful and luckily I have a bit left over that I will hopefully make into a dress for the girls soon!


Fabric: Nani Iro by Naomi Ito for Kokka (Little Letter Jose)

Pattern: The Clara Dress by Sew Liberated

    It looks gorgeous on you! I adore the fabric (and the sweet german shepherd with you!) Will you make the girls dresses similar to yours with the fabric?

      I am still trying to work out what to make for the girls! I am dreaming of something flowing and delicate. I might make it up as I go!

    Agreed, it looks beautiful! I just ordered myself some Nani Iro for a dress - it was a splurge but I think worth it because that fabric is not only pretty but feels so good too.

    Beautiful! I've been considering making one of these. I'm working on an Esme Top for myself right now. The dress really looks lovely on you and the fabric is very pretty.
