Had a massive wardrobe crisis recently. Stood in front of my wardrobe taking out stuff, trying it on, and discarding it all onto the floor. Just hated everything. I wanted something light and summery, but also something I could put a cardi, or jacket over and wear with trousers or leggings as the weather is still so changeable. So, finally, I took myself off to my local fabric shop and bought this lovely soft cotton fabric and made myself a new dress. I made this from a free pattern from Prima magazine. I made it slightly shorter than the pattern recommended, it comes to just above the knee, so that I can wear it with linen trousers or leggings if it's a bit cold or showery out. And I added a pocket, which wasn't part of the pattern and made the sleeves a bit longer as well. We don't like showing the tops of our arms, do we ladies?!
So there we are, a lovely new dress to cheer me up no matter what the weather.
