Newlook 6429 Revisited.... In a Leather-Look knit fabric

A great wardrobe staple Newlook 6429  the pattern is oop I think. I made my first version in 2009 here , another in 2010 here, and in 2011 here . All these dresses have gone to various homes (two to my sisters, and one to my niece), funny enough the owners still own and wear them .
Five years later I decided to make a new one for me in a leather-look, snake print, (army -green) knit fabric that I love so much and was a gem to sew, hopefully it remains mine for  some time.....

Stay tuned........

This dress on my mind...

This Mrs Obama's dress has been on my mind since I saw her on TV yesterday...   especially the color and simplicity of the dress..... I am in love mostly with the color, this style of high neck won't work for me with by broad shoulder, I think will look like a dress on a hanger...lol .... but the syle suites her so well... What do you think?
