Sarong but feels SO RIGHT

The beautiful dress in all its glory Check out this amazing linning!

Heeheehee sorry for the corny title, I couldn’t help myself!  So a couple of months ago I came across this Isaac Mizrahi for Target dress at my local Goodwill that I just had to buy!  The print was amazing and to my great surprise so was the linning in the dress!!  The dress is a size 18 and the cut of the dress was just not flattering to my body so I thought “I’m going to buy it and re-fashion it to something else”.  I certainly had enough fabric to make self a dress of my own size (I’m a size 8/10 by the way) but I just wasn’t sure what kind of dress I wanted to make it.  I put it aside and thought I’ll figure it out later.

Well I’ve found it!  I’m way into this pattern the problem is that no one seems to have it!  I keep searching and I hit dead ends!  SO I’ve come to realize that I need to put out a call to all my internet hommies and hope that someone has a lead for me!  A lead or the pattern itself will be handsomely rewarded!  If not I leave it up to the thrifting gods, who so generously take care of me and my thrifting habit!

  1. What an AWESOME dress! Well, not long ago I got a Vogue pattern that had exactly the same bodice as this one… I’ll go find the number for you and post later. If you make (or find) a pencil skirt bit, you could add a layer for the sarong bit on the front, so the illusion of the sarong but not actually a sarong. I’d LOVE to find that pattern too one day!
