Description
I love how this dress turned out! I was itching to use this fabric, and saw the Lucy Liu dress (last pic) in a magazine and had to make it! The pattern was really easy to follow, but the facing wouldn’t sit right, so I had to play with it a lot for it to work. Otherwise I followed the pattern almost exactly. The neckline isn’t as uneven as it for some reason looks in the pictures :) Oh yeah, and the 2nd-to-last pic is my pretty french seams :)
Material Notes
Amy Butler fabric (in Optic Linen bought from QuiltHome.com), yellow canvas from IKEA, invisible zipper

Gorgeous Dress! I so want one like this for summer. So many dresses, so little time! I give my bloke a hard time too – as we don’t have a digital camera- I get him to take photographs with the computer’s photobooth – very awkward!

What a lovely dress! and the fabric and contrasting belt look great. I can so relate to the husband who is not keen on taking photos ha ha!
