It looks lovely, I'm planning on making mine in red so it's great to see yours finished. x
Wonderful dress – great color and cut. Can you share the pattern number please, as I'd like to try this pattern if I can find it.
If I could make one suggestion: Considered making the buttons take the angle of the wrap top instead of straight down.
Thanks, the pattern is the swing dress from sense and sensibility patterns. Ann, what's really funny is the buttons aren't attached at all. I couldn't find the right brooch for the dress and I was considering the buttons at an angle. Good idea!! I am going antique shopping today, so maybe
I will luck out!! Thanks so much for your kind comments.
such a cute dress and you look great in red!
I agree. The red is beautiful, and the dress is so flattering. Nice job!
