The Saltspring sundress!!! Isn't it beautiful?
It is a gorgeous, blousy spaghetti strap sundress with pockets! Pockets!!!! And thus my love affair with pockets continues...
The pattern comes together fairly quickly and it's so easy to wear. Perfect for the 100+ degree Texas heat (It was 99 degrees outside when I was taking these pictures; yuck).
As with all of the sewaholic patterns, the instructions are easy to follow and the diagrams are awesome. Tasia deserves an award!

I used a "simply silky print" from Joanns. The fabric is lovely and has such a beautiful drape, but it was horrible to sew with. It was soooooo slippery! Many curse words were uttered from my mouth as I was sewing, but I'm glad I stuck with it. The results are stunning!
This dress makes me feel so pretty!
Hey there...you're at the FW Water Gardens! Lovely dress. I ordered this pattern today and am excited to get it made.
ReplyDeleteI am!!! I work downtown! It's a great pattern, and I hope you love it like I do!
DeleteI think your version is the nicest one yet. I love full-length dresses for the summer. Somehow you always look polished and cool in the summer heat in a maxi-dress! I love this pattern - it looks like there are lots of opportunities in the pattern to make it unique. I love the fabric - and isn't it the truth that beautiful fabrics can be difficult to sew with? - I can't wait to get my copy of this pattern.
ReplyDeleteThank you!!! The pattern is amazing!! Who doesn't love a good dress?
