A quick-sew project from Simplicity 6954 for those sunny September days. Why have I been avoiding polyester for so long? This dress is comfy! More details at the Hometown Victory Girl blog

What a lovely photograph! And I must say, I’m jealous of your hair, do you put rollers in everyday?
Thanks Audrey! I sleep in pin curls about every 3-4 nights. This was Day One of a fresh set. I did a tutorial on the Hometown Victory Girl blog linked above. 🙂
Love your photo… dress, hair, bike – all of it!
Love the title of your post. I agree. There was a reason polyester was so popular back in the day. It’s super comfortable and its easy care requirements make it a real winner. I secretly long for more fun prints to show up on fabric shelves. I also agree with the rest of the crowd your hair is lovely. Thanks for the great picture. Enjoy your dress.
