This lovely old flowery fabric was given to me several years ago by Helen. I have admired it for a long time, not daring to snip into it. But I finally decided to, and made this dress for summer.
The pattern is this one, and the fabric is a vintage drapey rayon/cotton type. With a good, serious floral pattern. The best things about this dress include: the useful pockets, the length (I often find the dress patterns I use are a little too short in the end, but this one is just below the knee on me) and the drapey, assymetrical bodice. I am looking forward to wearing this with sandals over summer and with a fair isle cardigan in the autumn. After all, why stick to one busy pattern when you can have two?
