I can not stop thinking about spring/summer dresses. I'd sew myself a whole wardrobe of them, if I could. I have the fabric, I have the patterns, now all I need is the time. Ah, time. Who couldn't use more of that?
Even though I'm not too crazy about it, I'm wearing a dress I made a few weeks ago. I don't think this dress is very flattering on me. Hmm, I like it better in this photo than I do in real life. I'll still wear it, but I certainly don't love it. It is comfortable, though.
Before I made this one I started another one (hanging in the background), but I'm still not done with it . That Vogue Simplicity pattern was purchased at least 10 years ago. I think I'll like that one a lot more. It's a wrap dress, which is pretty flattering to most shapes. All that is left are the sleeves. I can't decide what length I want to make. Short? Elbow? I'm leaning towards elbow length sleeves. This is one that I would like to make more of, but there are other patterns I'd like to try out. So many patterns, so little time!! Oh, and in case you're wondering, the cropped sweater is from Old Navy - the dress is McCall's 5039.
