Summer Dress

Recently I have been very interested in sewing clothes again, I have only dabbled in clothes making but have always wanted to pursue it more. Because of past frustrations I have abandoned many projects.

But then I found this cute dress pattern via the Selvedge Studio, they had it in their window and it was an inspiration to get back on the clothes sewing train. This pattern was so easy, I did alter quite a bit, and found when I made it the first time it was rather large. So I sized it down and left the sleeves drapey, because I don't like things too tight around my arms (makes me feel a little claustrophobic) and I really wanted to use the ultra soft jersey fabric on the top part of the dress.
