Gold River Adventure Dress - Goober Pea Designs

~ Pattern Testing ~




I adore a twirly skirt and so does Miss K!

I haven't posted for a while, as I have been busy testing (and working on something very exciting to be announced soon) behind the scenes. One of my recent tests was the Gold River Adventure Dress pattern for Goober Pea Designs and adore the finished product!
I chose to make the tiered skirt version, so it was a little more time consuming than a gathered skirt dress would be, but am very happy I did. I love the 'dressiness' it gives to the overall style of the dress. Using one of my favourite vintage floral prints by Lecien added to the girly romance. (And Miss K gave it the all important "tick of approval")

The pattern also has straight or gathered skirt options, I am keen to make a straight skirt style in a pinwale cord, denim or velour for layering in winter (but that will have to wait a few months now!)

I do love a full gathered skirt too and have lots of fabric options I could play with......

I'm thinking a feature panel on the bib, with a contrast skirt!







This is a true overall style, with functional button plackets at the sides of the front bib, making it easy to layer and adjust for growth if needed. 

I have made this one in a woven, but the pattern is also suitable for knits and a knit pants add-on has just been released, making this super versatile!

You can find the pattern here!
