Vogue 9186 is one of the designs from the summer 2016.
Other than T-shirts, I stopped purchasing white clothes. Because I often get them dirty ( usually with tomato sauce or soy sauce. haha) . The dress in the second photo was designed by Viktor and Rolf. When I found the dress in spring-summer 2015. I love the dress with the asymmetry waist band and drape! I wanted to get the dress but it was too expensive for me.
This is the Vogue9186; view B. I was excited when I saw this pattern for the first time! This pattern looks almost same as the dress I wanted to get. I’ve already done two dresses that I used this pattern.
I didn't change the design. But I had some problems. Because this pattern needs 60" width fabric, but it's difficult to get the 60" width cotton in Japan. I don't know why most fabric stores in Japan do not sell cotton with 45" width. (most of the wool and others are 60" width). I had to cut the pieces into fabric horizontally, but I didn't have any problem in practical use.
View A; Here is cap sleeves version.

I love these dresses. I am glad that I purchased the pattern. Because I sometimes draw the patterns but I can not draw this on my own. I made the necklace and bracelet. I am happy that jewelry go well with my new dress.
