...I actually intended to make two dresses this long weekend, but it just didn't happen. The weekend did yielded one dress though, so it still ended on a positive note. I'm sewing for fall/winter, so this dress won't actually be worn for a while.

Wonderful pattern, but I didn't want the maxi. I
wanted a boot length midi with long sleeves, so that's what I made.
This pattern has a gianormous cowl neckline or collar - I LOVE IT TOO!
I went with a straight
16 and everything worked out just right. I made only two construction
changes: (1)underlined the body of the dress with poly interlock to
negate wearing a slip, and (2)pegged in 2 inches at the side seams from
knee to hem.
I
predict that weather in my area will not permit wearing the dress until
mid-October or even later. But whenever the time does come I'll be
just a little ahead of the game. My dress will be ready for first
chill. All I have to do is decide...
