I had leftover fabric from making my first Azalea dress, so I tried a tube-dress version. Everything else is the same, but instead of attaching the top part, I made a white band and sewed it onto the gathered top of the dress. Again, no zipper needed.
white stretch knit and purple sheer fabric.

I must admit I like your version better than the original pattern, Azalea was never really one of my favourites. It’s a small alteration, but it makes such a huge difference to me. Might copy you one day :)

It’s adorable! I see your machine is on the floor. I had to sew and pattern make on the floor for a few years. That’s dedication!

This looks great! I wouldn’t have believed it was the Azalea if you hadn’t told me
