For my latest Palozza Dress I wanted something P & S (plain and simple). No frills - not too many details, fast and easy, comfortable - something I'd enjoy wearing and could dress up or down, still keeping with my latest vintage vibe. But with so many patterns it was hard to make a choice. There are only 2 downsides to being a patternaholic:- Storage Problems, and
- Trying to make a decision about which to use for your next project.
It took me a week to make up my mind, but I finally decided on this vintage pattern. I struggled with the pattern choice for a while because the fabric I wanted to use was not even close to the patterns suggestion. I finally just took a deep breath and went with anyway.
The only alterations made to this pattern were to eliminate the belled sleeves, and remove excess ease in the sleeve cap. I used another cheetah print ponte de roma - this time a royal blue background with black spots purchased at Hancock's cause I fell in love with it.
I am highly satisfied with the fabric choice and the fit - so I'm glad I made the decision. Here's a picture of my new palooza dress and a closeup of the fabric.
I think I'll wear this one on Thanksgiving Day...

Very nice! Just the sort of dress that I think would get a lot of wear. Comfortable, but pulled together, with a subtle print.
LOVE this. Can't go wrong with vintage.
Great dress. Sometimes plain and simple is best, especially for such a great fabric! Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours!
Lovely dress and great print. My style is based on plain & simple, it gives me the choice of playing up the garment or dressing it down.
Have a great Thanksgiving.
