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!

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.
ReplyDeleteThanks! I'm glad you checked back to see it ;) I did try to use as little as possible... so I have some left... Your comments mean alot... thanks for keeping me going...
