Welp I made my first super summer-y dress today and I have to say, I'm quite pleased with the results. I don't know why, but my freehand creations are always better than the ones done entirely with a pattern. The only pattern action on this dress was in getting the armscye just right. I made this using a $1.99 pillow sham that I found at Goodwill yesterday, and I used vintage crocheted lace that I found months and months ago at my favorite antique mall. I love the look of using just the lace across the waistline. Is that called a peekaboo or something these days? I have no idea, but it's definitely nice to have a little extra skin exposed on hot days. The bodice has a faux wrap dress effect and everything is fully lined. I can't wait until my next day off so I can show you all the shorts I'm working on once I finish them!
