What was your inspiration?

This is an easy to sew knit dress with ruching on the sides.

What are you most proud of?

Nothing in particular -- but I am always pleased when I make something that I enjoy wearing over and over again! This is especially nice with a knit that washes beautifully and needs no ironing!

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Very easy and great for beginners, too! I was worried that the ruching might accentuate the negative but found it surprisingly flattering. I'm already making another version of this very versatile pattern!

I bet this was a fun dress to make after all the "couture" sewing you do - maybe a little less involved?? It looks great on you - and red is such a pick-me-up this time of year.

Very stylish! Love it with the boots! I'm going to have to consider this pattern next time Vogue has one of those $4.99 sales!
