This is my coffee date dress.
The fit is not perfect around the hips but i think it is not too bad so i’m going to wear it a lot!
I changed the ruffles, just simply cut out a rectangle and pinned it into a shape i liked.
thank you elainemay for creating this pattern!
the stupid project name results out of frustration while uploading….
light cotton i bought with my mother around fifteen years ago – she wanted to make me a dress… :-)

What a great take ! I love your fabric choice; it looks very sophisticated.
I think you got a great fit; what a perfect little dress !

This is so pretty. I really like your version of the ruffle, too.

haha i know how it is to take an old material attached to some story from your mother’s drawer… i’m glad this one finally came to life in the shape of this dress! i thought the name was original too:)
