it is quite a loose dress with lots of design ease, so air can easily circulate around the body. I had a cheerful cotton poplin (from Spotlight) in this bright pattern - as the dominant colours are blue and aqua, I thought it was just right for hot days. If you want a fitted dress, this pattern is not right - it has no front darts so is loose over the tummy. Just what I want in the heat...

A perfect dress, and very pretty too, Sarah. Today I am working on something very similar, light linen in a soft aqua/green tone. Isn't it humid!
ReplyDeleteThank you Patricia - your dress sounds pretty, and yes, it is humid on the east coast at the moment.

DeleteJust what is needed at this time of year ~ the fit is spot on! Have you had a chance to pop into Spotlight for their 40% off fabric sale at all???
