(highlighting the good without being vulgar ;) ) <br />Your dress looks amazing! I love the stripes, but since this is my first dress, I'm going to stick with a solid. So I'll just have to make it again!Mary Moury https://www.blogger.com/profile/11635802701012755888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4616157712190875587.post-38918826041180161472010-07-14T19:56:14.111-04:002010-07-14T19:56:14.111-04:00Too perfect.

Definitely more bust than I'd dare go for with wee ones around, haha, especially since they can turn modest shirts into peep shows in an instant regardless. Simple to remedy though.<br />This week was far too busy with renos for me to actually get to join the sew-a-long, despite buying the pattern... especially since it was my craft room that was largely being worked on.

By the way, you're awesome for doing this! I had never sewn much for myself previous to the Frock by Friday features, at least not much that I would wear out in public. Now I have a sweet coffee date dress, and two shirt waist dresses that I modified the pattern on.

And, yes, as others have said, the fabric is gorgeous - I can't believe it was a discounted Joann's find!
