The Dress... My Diane von Furstenberg

For those of you that have been waiting to see The Dress... made from my hidden treasure... Here you go!

Love the swingy feel to the dress... And of course supper happy to have pockets!  I think I will make this pattern again (McCall's 6553)... Maybe shorten and make a top?  I case you are wondering what's so interesting on the floor... It's my birthday shoes!  I've wanted and drooled over these shoes(from Anthropologie) for months... Pooled together my birthday $$$ and with birthday coupon in hand(15% OFF) I ordered them!  And thanks to my patience they were on sale...  They complete me... 
OK ok...Back to the dress...  To forever remember this find... I created a tag from the fabric salvage... and sewed it into my dress...  While this may be silly... I am thrilled!  It makes me giddy to know I have this treasure...  Happy Sewing!

  1. Oh this is a truly beautiful dress, I have been eagerly awaiting this picture after seeing you found this fabric in your stash. I would have smuggled it away again scared I would not do it justice, but you have given it a perfect home.
