Maiestia, it’s Simplicity 2657. It’s a nice, simple sundress that’s easy to personalize. :)

Lovely lovely dress! I voted for you. Which simplicity pattern did you adapt to make the dress?

Lots of fun to go to the Sew Stylish fashion page and take a peak at the finals. I voted for you. I’m pleased to see the embroidered “butterfly garden” is running a close second to “sassy stripes” atm. Both works are gorgeous, and in my mind yours has the edge. It’s got the X factor! Good luck! Let us know how you go!
