FLORAL FRONT

Print of flowers is subtle at front, compared with bright colours at the back. Bright orange in the floral print inspired use of brighter fabrics.

Reversible lining

A black viscose shirt with orange flowers (Plus Size XXL) formed the lining base to start making 'Tropical Parrots'.  The buttoning strip was utilised for the dress front.  Collar lapels change to red view.  Butterfly print (inside facing) makes an interesting focal point. (see making below)

Finished dress is suitable 38/40 - 42/44 inch bust.  Front length 32 inches/81mm.
