My take on the Marie. A little business, a little casual. The one thing I don’t like about this pattern is its “balloon”-y look.

what a steal! 1 dollar! I think the balloony look is very stylish!

I LIKE the balloony-look! You did an excellent job on this. That fabric is really nice. The muu-muu was a lucky find!
