Isn’t this dress magnificent? It’s from Lanetz Living.
I desperately want to make this up in a heavy black silk/cotton. You could wear it to ANYTHING. I’d wear the collar open, probably, with a scarf (if I were feeling dashing) or colored beads … I wouldn’t wear a brooch or pin for fear of getting it caught on something and ripping the dress.
If I had just one spare day’s worth of time in the next two months I would buy this pattern outright. (I, um, already ordered that fabric. Black silk/cotton for $6.99/yard? Please.) but lately I’ve been trying not to hoard patterns that I know I won’t sew right away; it doesn’t seem quite fair. I just trust that when I have the time, the universe will make the pattern available to me. (I wish I could feel that way about fabrics, but they are SO much harder to search for …)
This one deserves a good home. That skirt! Those pockets! I like the short-sleeved version best (although I probably would leave off the cuffs — they’re so lumpy under a cardigan).
This dress doesn’t have to be dressy — it would be marvelous in a red-and-white embroidered cotton, too. So sporty! You could wear it with red Keds and it would be adorable.
