The dress garnered several remarks like: "Did you make that one too? Oh my goodness you are so good." My response - it was only four pieces! If they only knew just how easy making this dress was, minus removing the original turtle neck and replacing it with a larger one, they'd try their hand at dressmaking too - maybe.
The body of the dress is fully lined so thus negated wearing a slip - love that. It made getting dressed and out the door this morning just a little bit easier. The dress wore well all day long. The Fabric: a slightly ribbed value knit from Hancock Fabrics that was intended to be a muslin, but instead turned out to be the actual dress - because I liked it.
I really love my clothes. Being able to make my wardrobe is such a wonderful blessing for which I am very thankful...
