Description

This pattern is right up my alley, as are most of elainemay’s projects. This isn’t a color I normally wear, but I’m trying to use up the 4 or so yards of it which was given to me. Plus I like any color fabric that costs $0! But I’m thrilled with how it turned out, and I’m excited to make many more. It was such a cinch.

I made it in size 34 from the multisize pattern, but I think maybe the original 32 might have been a slightly better fit.

Material Notes

Lavender loosely woven cotton, invisible zipper

    Very pretty dress!!!! And I don’t see anything wrong with the fit on the pictures, at least. And as for the fabric – if only you saw what fabric I used for the pillows. ;-);-);-) But, they’ll be covered by cases and it was in a “mystery bag” of fabric I got for 8$ total, so I didn’t “cry about it” and I am sure you didn’t mind the fabric when it was even less for you!!! (a.k.a. nothing) ;-);-);-)
