An inspiration for this dress came from the fabric itself: dots in all colors and sizes and borders in 3 different patters.
The dress is constructed from a lot of pieces – front and back skirt panels that flare, under-bust yokes, bust and neckline pieces and back top parts.
Depending on fabric’s ornament, this dress could look both casual and formal.

HELP!
I’m sorry but I cannot find the pattern. The PDF file has no instructions, no pattern included. Where are you finding the pattern for this lovely dress?

Can you imagine? We have so similar dresses because of the print? I just saw yours! What a lovely dress!
I like maxi dresses this season…
Cool!

That looks totally fantastic!
I love that dress and can not wait for you
to post a pattern! I have been dying for
a maxi-dress and this one you have made
is gorgeous. You can see all the panels even
in your photo’s. I love the front panel.
Really great design Ana!

Wow, beautiful dress! It looks stunning on you and I love your fabric choice. Like Lala86, I wish I were taller to be able to wear long dresses – I fear I would resemble more a sausage than a lamp if I attempted this :) But I look forward to seeing the pattern and making a shorter version!
Jul 1, 2009, 06.36 AMby Lala86
Excellent choice of pattern placing! And the fit is perfect! I wish I was as tall as you so as to wear long desses without looking like a lamp. So I guess I’d make it shorter in my case.
