Summer of Dresses

Burda 7515  made from a navy silk crepe

It was a mild overcast day,  just perfect for a pic of this dress that I completed last year!  (Sister to my Xmas Day red dress) It is real 'easy to wear' and ' easy to make'.

I followed the pattern and overlocked the edge,  next time I will try a 'rolled' hem using my regular machine.  This dress took about 2 hours to complete.   No zip, no buttons, no hem, no interfacing and very little pressing
 EASY PEASY

Three rectangles  sewn together,  what an easy dress,  just perfect for
 walking.















Red dress 7515




Fabric:  1.5 m.  (so old I forget the cost)
Notions:  Cotton from my stash.
Shoes:  Faithful old Crocs, just perfect for the beach.

  3. Cheryl that's my kind of simple, classy dress! You wear it so well. BTW your silk crepe is the latest spring blue Pantone is calling Monaco Blue. Ref the Pantone Spring 2013 Fashion Color Report.
