Fashion Plate: Fruit Cart Dress

Make This Look: ModCloth Fruit Cart Dress

Make This Look: ModCloth Fruit Cart Dress by ellelittle featuring dresses

ModCloth has this style dress in several different fabrics.  I chose the Fruit Cart Dress for this week's Fashion Plate.  To create this style, grab yourself a copy of McCall's 6350 (now out of print, but still widely available) and 3 yards of Michael Miller's Farmer's Market Apple Dot fabric.  The ModCloth version has shirred side backs, which you can easily recreate.  You will need to double the width of those pieces because shirring reduces the width by approximately half.  Then you can just follow any shirring tutorial, such as this one by Flossie Teacakes.  I just love the sweetheart neckline on this dress next to the apple print.  It's just perfect!
