Description

This used up just one yard of this bright & beautiful, ikat-esque, polyester crinkle chiffon I found out in California on a visit to my bestie’s. Though at first the blousy, loose look of this didn’t appeal to me, I think it’s more flattering than expected. No alterations, and I winged it by cutting a size 6. Actually, scratch that – I made one alteration, by opening up the back slit a few inches, just to make certain I could pull this on, and thus pull off such a fast project.

The seams are French, and the hems are rolled with a serger. I serged the sleeve hems prior to sewing the seam & inserting them, so as not to deal with tucking the serger tails.

      Thanks, Ralf! I’m realizing simple can often be best (especially with my love for prints).

      Why thank you! If I remember correctly, there was another colorway, but this really struck me.
