But never mind me and my mind worms - the full pattern review of the Lola dress, by Victory Patterns, is over at Handmaker's Factory. One thing I would like to say here, though - this is one super comfy dress, and the pattern was great! So if you are after a dress that looks great but feels as cosy as they come, then this pattern might be the girl for you!
I did make my sleeves a wee bit longer, as I prefer a long sleeve, but apart from that no other changes were made. Love those deep wrap-around pockets!

Oh Jorth! I love your hand-made style. You pick the best patterns and fabrics for yourself.
ReplyDeletelove it! i'll definitely be making this pattern up come fall, it looks super cozy. great color!
ReplyDeleteVery nice! I love the color. It looks very comfy and warm.
ReplyDeleteGreat colour on you too. Love the frizzy hair and matching glasses. Thanks for sharing the pattern. It looks like a nice wardrobe staple and would look great in other pretty fabrics.
ReplyDeleteworst thing? how about best thing!
ReplyDeleteWow from the pics on the victory site i would NEVER choose this pattern - but if your photo was used i would jump at it. You are very good at choosing patterns & fabric to match.
pockets! bestthingever.
love it.
I love this - You have such a knack for picking great colours.
ReplyDeleteIt is pretty cool. Talking about mind worms you've reminded me that I bought three Victory patterns and haven't used them.
ReplyDeleteVery cute! I hadn't noticed this pattern - until seeing yours! Its on my wish list now!
ReplyDeleteI'm so excited to be navy lace dresses of the Summer Sun Dress series again!
ReplyDeleteThat looks so good! Can you tell me what size you used?
ReplyDeleteGorgeous!! So comfy but the colour makes it a showstopper. Love it!!
ReplyDeleteLove this dress. The seaming is wonderful and flattering. You go girl!
ReplyDeleteI've wanted this pattern forever! Your version is so friggin' cute. I love the color and obvious stylelines. The pockets are so practical too!
ReplyDeleteSuch a fierce colour!! Love the cosy look of it with your matching rims ;)
ReplyDeleteSweet. I cut this out last year and then summer arrived so it's been lying under the bed awaiting sewing up. Thanks for the reminder. Did you have to take it in at the sides at all? Or make any other mods/alterations to the pattern?
ReplyDeleteCrap-just realised I posted a comment to another review here! XP This is what comes of having too many tabs open way past bedtime. Sorry =P
ReplyDeleteI just ordered this pattern. We're knee-deep in gray winter weather here in the US and this looked too cozy and chic to pass up! I'm going to lengthen my sleeves as well...although I'm not opposed to layering with a t-shirt.
