This palm tree dress is one of the many reasons to print my own fashions on demand. I saw this fabulous offering online and had to have it. BUT the reviews were not so good. So I decided to wait awhile. The next time I searched for the dress there were knock-offs everywhere. Some as low as $5.00. WHAT?! Again, the negative reviews on all the offerings were discouraging. Notice the dress in the photo is obviously a crisp cotton or perhaps linen based on the few visible wrinkles. Yet, many reviews stated that a weird polyester fabric arrived and it was not like the picture. Some customer photos were horrible. Way short like a top. Missing the contrasting stripe piping on the cuffs and neck. I wonder who made the actual palm tree dress in the photo? I would only be confident buying from that supplier. But alas, I was not able to confirm who the original designer is SO…
I constructed my own version of the palm tree dress. Here is the fabric I came up with:
I am almost finished with the prototype of the pattern and will post a sneak peek soon. The Cut and Sew pattern version printed right on fabric will be aprox. 3 1/2 yards. Below knee length. Size 8 to 18. Choice of color – white, yellow, coral, and soft blue. The piping is printed right on the project. The paper version includes piping or facing options. Poly/Cotton blend.
