Wearability Report:
Even though I originally pledged that I was only going to try to wear me-made items on my days off from work, when I came home on Saturday, it was way too warm and beautiful out not to pop on one of my summer dresses. And since my boyfriend and I were going out to dinner (I wanted outdoor seating and Coronas), a dress was something I wanted to wear for our mini “date night.”
I wore this dress a bunch last summer after I made it, and I loved it so much that I made it again in another fabric. It’s lightweight and cool, and the sleeves aren’t really sleeves, it’s more like fabric that floats over my shoulders. I’m not surprised at all that this is a “Best Pattern of 2011” on PatternReview.com because it’s so flattering on everyone, great to wear, and a cinch to make. I stayed nice and cool all evening in the 80 degree weather.
It's lovely! I guess I wasn't following enough sewing blogs way back in 2011, because I don't recognise this pattern… but now I'm off to take a look! Thanks!
Maybe it's because of the way I'm sitting that's causing it to not look familiar…anyway, thank you so much! 🙂
