Materials

Vintage 70's mod cotton fabric I scored on Ebay and some crazy matching bias tape I found at a thrift store.

What was your inspiration?

I love this fabric and wanted a cool dress.

What are you most proud of?

I altered the bodice to fit my little top and it fits like a dream.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Do it! It has 4 pattern pieces if you eliminate the facings and use bias tape. Super easy and fast to sew up!

Wow. Awesome fabric choice! I am tempted to try it because I am not the greatest seamstress and four pieces can't be that bad!

Me too---I'm learning, but am still pretty impatient. This was so fast, I almost couldn't believe it!
