Color blocking is a beautiful way to highlight the style lines in a dress. Carla used Cranberry/Charcoal Grey Reversible Knit (Sold Out) and did a lovely job selecting where to “change colors”. Thank you Carla-I know your daughter loves this dress!
I made the sleeveless version of Vogue 8944 with Roz’s reversible knit.

I chose not to line it as called for in the pattern. Instead, I stabilized the shoulders and the waistline with a fusible hem tape.
I used a traditional binding application (as taught in Linda Lee Craftsy Class) for the neck and armholes. The only “challenge” was the zipper. I finally figured out I had to put the binding on—then put the zipper in—and then turn the binding down and finish!
If anyone wants more details, just ask! As usual, I fully documented it in case I remake!
Great fabric choice for this beautiful dress!
Looks gorgeous! Interesting how you did the binding and the zipper. I would typically put the zipper in up to the binding, then use a hook and eye for the binding. Your way would be easier for daily wear.
