I downloaded this pattern ages ago and have looked forward to making it. It is a very easy pattern. I loved the fabric so that I made the whole dress it in rather than using a contrasting colour. I only made a the following changes to the original pattern: pleats at the front instead of gathers, an extra wide and very long waist tie and a ‘layer look’ hem.
Silk chiffon, polyester lining

Many thanks, Erin. I’m very excited I made the ‘Top Picks’. The hem took a little extra time to get right but I think it adds interest to the simple style.
