What was your inspiration?

My mom treated me to this fun fabric.
Made a festive dress that I can wear to work!

What are you most proud of?

I am very pleased with the fit of the bodice.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

When working with people in prints be very mindful of the placement of your darts and seams.

I absolutely love this! Which pattern did you use? I have a retro vogue I plan to do up using a similar print fabric (featuring a very buff red Indian). Can't resist over the top fabric prints, such fun!
