I made this dress as a gift for my sister, Bonnie. It’s a comfy jersey dress with silver buttons on the sash.
The pictures at the end are of her on Christmas morning!

The neckline is very staright! Great skills. Pretty color and the tabs are very cute.

It a very nice dress! I was wondering, how did you finish the cowl and neck seams?

I folded over the edge (after cutting some notches where it curved) and just sewed a straight stitch around the neckline. Since the fabric is jersey, I don’t have to worry about it fraying.

Nope, no pattern! I just used the dress form to get the basic shape, and tried it on to get the fit. Luckily we are about the same size! :)
