wow! thanks!! unfortunately I couldn’t see the link, but I believe you :-)
I guess it’s the best to go fabric shopping in the middle of the week, midday, …that’s when you find the real bargains.

What fantastic fabric, I love the waistline! It’s a beautiful dress :)

gorgeous material, and pattern. You radiate. Can you also use this pattern if you are not pregnant and have a not so flat stomach?

Really cute dress. And that print is fantastic! Congrats on drafting your own pattern — it’s so satisfying, isn’t it?

Thank you! It was very satisfying to draft my own pattern. The fabric has “Miss Sixty” written over it… I wonder if it’s an original Miss Sixty fabric… (cost me about 2.5$ per meter…)
