Description

I have set a goal of making one dress each month for a year. I made two in March, as the first of the dresses was a wedding dress for my sister. The fabric is a bright salmon color that I purchased for $2/yd in Los Angeles. I have found a great knits place on Maple Avenue between 8th and 9th street. If you are ever in Los Angeles there is an amazing place that sells beautiful knits, good quality, for super cheap!!!

Pattern Used: B6582
It’s a great retro pattern. Very easy. The end result looks just like the pattern. If it’s on sale at Joann’s I recommend picking it up and giving it a try.
