Description

This dress has been my staple dress this summer. It is comfortable, easy to throw on, good for most situations.

I based the yoke off the Danielle pattern (with a ton of changes). The body of the dress is basically a big rectangle. I used pintucks at the front and back around the waist to give it some shape, matching all the polka dots. (I pinned it while wearing it, how much would I love to have a dress form…).

It has a handpicked zip at the centre back. I love handpicking zips now!

Magdamagda has some great tips on sewing nice scallops.

      Thank you! No, I haven’t seen it. I never buy that magazine as often as I would like to…

    The dress looks so nice! I looked up your blog too and like your style! Are you sewing all your clothes by yourself? I bookmarked your site so I can read on about your cool life and your nice dresses :-)

      Thanks! Nowadays I am trying not to buy any clothes (except some occasional secondhand purchases), so most of the clothes I wear I have made myself.

    You’ve managed to put all the sweet details in one dress, how awesome is that! You can’t even recognize original pattern, it’s really great.
