Description

I really wanted a simple “sack” dress…unfortunately the fashion gods deem it necessary to stop them after a size 16 (can’t disagree with that all of the time)…As everyone will soon find out…if I can’t find it in my size and I really, really want it….I’ll figure out a way to get it done. :)

Pics are from my good friend’s photo project (coincidentally she’s starting it just as I’ve decided to make sewing for myself a priority)—:=)

Material Notes

orange linen (although it feels a bit like burlap), thread and lots of simple imagination.

    What a cute dress and good for you! I am often frustrated over the lack of variety and styles in plus sizing-you are inspiring me to start some projects for myself. Thank you!

      You’re so right about the frustration. i LOVE clothes and refuse to be afraid of wearing certain things…hopefully we’ll start a revolution! :-)
