I love the way this dress looks on the pattern envelope:

But I’m not sure how it would look on me…. I’m 5′10″, with a proportionally long waist and a pear or “A” shaped figure – and I’m in my late-ish twenties
Any opinions?   I’ve got a new poll set up on the right sidebar – I’d love to hear what you think!

I’m a little concerned about the weather right now… my studio faces west and there’s a menacing looking thunderhead building up. Of course, the fact that there are severe thunderstorm warnings out now doesn’t help either!
I need something to distract myself
How about a daily blog all about vintage dresses?
“A Dress A Day” celebrates vintage fabric, patterns & dresses with daily photos, links, tips & tricks. They even have sources for hard to find patterns, both current and discontinued!

I like the idea of only having to sew one seam on a dress
Lydia Silvestry designed the Infinite Dress:

Rowena over at Rostitchery has created a beautiful version of this dress, with just one seam – go check it out!
