Yet another version of Heather Ross' free dress pattern...


I love the ease of this pattern and kept thinking I could do it more justice (the last two versions didn't shine like I hoped: see #1 and #2). Well, I may have finally done it with version #3!

Here it is in an Amy Butler Midwest Modern print (I love this print...where I bought it) with spaghetti straps (remind me later how little I enjoy making spaghetti straps). I used french seams on the sides, and left out the pockets since I only carry bulky, heavy things that moms need and unfortunately never use the pockets in the other trials. Additionally, I also took six inches off the hem since I am no amazon (though I would love to be...). Overall, I think it turned out great. Pin It

  2. Pretty! I'm not an Amazon either. That's one reason why sewing is so much more fun than buying retail :)

  3. Thanks Allison! I really did like making this dress. By the third time I make something, it goes pretty smoothly. :)

    And, thanks Becky! You're right about sewing for my petite self being more fun than buying retail. Most things just aren't made quite right for us.
