Chalk and notch 3 years ago holiday photos have always been great motivation to sew our holiday outfits early well at least for us girls.
Fringe dress maxi chalk and notch.
For maximum maxi dress drama i maxified the fringe according to gabriela s tutorial lengthening the skirt by 14 inches rather than the 16 18 inches she calls for because my mom is short.
This is the chalk and notch fringe dress pattern.
Chalk and notch turns 2 giveaway.
First i lowered the neckline by 1 because i wanted it to be a little cheekier.
View b has a pull over notched front with a cuff.
Both views include two cup sizes optional waist ties and the sleeve cuffs are interchangeable.
View a has a button up front elbow sleeve and sleeve tab.
There are just so many amazing ways to hack the fringe dress.
Since we were knee deep in a cross country move i didn t get to it until december but you better believe i had this eggplant floral rayon from my favorite rifle paper co set aside for it from the moment it reached my mailbox.
The fringe is a gorgeous dress or top from chalk notch that was seriously having a moment when it came out last fall.
When gabriela set this challenge i knew straight away that a maxi dress with multiple tiers of ruffles would look.
Let s sew all the ruffles.
I sewed a maxi fringe dress in a tribal rayon crepe fabric from style maker fabrics.
The fringe pattern is a woven dress and blouse with two views.
And the fringe dress is so well drafted that i didn t have to make any adjustments to the fit.
I m super excited to be able to guest blog for chalk and notch today and share a super fun tiered maxi fringe tutorial.
To do this i just marked 1 down on the center front and used a french curve ruler to draw a new curve from my mark to the top of the keyhole.
