A New Dress For Spring. . .


Over the past week I've been working on a dress for Spring! I'm using Simplicity 2886, which I bought last year during a pattern sale.


I had hoped to make a summer dress with it, but since couldn't find the right material for the design, it was added to a pile of patterns with a similar plight. Fast forward to late September, when I crossed paths with a bolt of ivory sateen, printed with navy dots and bordered with roses:


It immediately brought the Simplicity pattern back to mind, being similar to the print used for View A. This dress should be fairly simple to fit; so far I've done a muslin of the bodice with a SBA, and it doesn't seem to need any other changes (yay!). I'm afraid I'll probably be skipping those cute pockets, though. I'd rather reduce visual bulk there, if I can ;-)
