I have had the hardest time trying to find a summer dress for myself. While there are plenty of cute ones around, I'm picky. I want something that I can wear without leggings or undershirts or cardigans. Seriously, it's summer. No extra layers please. I guess the designers don't exactly cater well to the Utah market that way. But I would wear dresses all summer long if I could find something that matches my criteria.
So, what else is there to do but make my own? When I was younger, I learned to sew clothing in 4-H, but it's been a good 5 or 6 years since I've even attempted it. Since I've already got the sewing machine and picked a pattern out, I don't really have an excuse not to do this. I'll be curious to see how it turns out.
In order to go easy on myself, I chose one of Vogue's "very easy" patterns. (Very easy? Are they sure about that?) For fabric, I'm thinking a light white linen. We'll see how well I handle this project before I move onto the next. I already have it picked out. :)
