Yellow Summer Dress
You know I've been dreaming of having a yellow dress. :-) Well, now I have one. :-)
Pattern Description: B4443, a sleeveless dress or jumper
Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it? yes :-)
Were the instructions easy to follow? Yes, the directions were quite easy to understand.
What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? I just... like it! :-D I love the style.
Fabric Used: Yellow linen-look fabric from JoAnn's. (65% polyester, 35% rayon, if I remember right :-) )
Pattern Alterations or any design changes you made: I just shortened the bodice a teeny bit, though after finishing the dress and comparing it with the last dress I made in this style, I don't think that was necessarily. Still, it fits just fine. :-) Next time, though, I think I will lengthen the skirt, as it is a little shorter than I am used to wearing. (I meant to lengthen it this time but had already cut the piece out when I realized I had forgotten!! :-o )
Would you sew it again? I might, though this was the third time I made a dress with this pattern and I should probably branch out a little. :-)
Would you recommend it to others? Ohhhh yes! :-)
P.S. I did not make the shrug. It's from J. C. Penny's. :-) The dress is sleeveless and I prefer to wear a jacket over it. :-)

I am attempting to contact you this way... I'm not sure how else to. :-) My computer has been having issues and had to be cleaned out and I may have lost your email address and your last email... so I haven't forgotten about you, but I... don't have your address anymore. Can you resend me your last email?

What a lovely dress...you did a wonderful job! I saw some similar fabric in the store not long ago and have been toying with using it on a vintage dress pattern. You've inspired me! By the way, I enjoy reading your family's blog...thanks for sharing.
Blessings,
