What can I say? This dress is all its hyped up to be! I whipped this up pretty quickly in some Ponte knit I bought at spotlight of all places.
Heading into my third aussie summer I knew this had to be short sleeves. I wasn't sure on the neck binding and so decided to make some facing so that I could get a nice clean finish and it worked. This fabric i used for this dress is quite heavy and so might be better suited to warm spring days than summer. Aussie springs may as well be summer to Scot tho!!
Those who know me and my sewing habits, actually let's be honest. .. Deepti (@deeptisewsforsanity) will notice that I have aligned my stripes, cos really you have to don't you? But also I feel like I have become somewhat obsessed with alignment. Perhaps this is where my day job is affecting my sewing....or not...
Have worn this dress a few times now and feel as though I'm reaching for it as soon as it comes off the washing line. I'm sure there will be other Cocos to add the wardrobe!
