Finally, this weekend with one day to do as I please, I made a list of all the little obstacles standing between me and this summer dress and gave it a go: eliminating/moving darts on basic bodice pattern, creating a sleeve pattern, creating a new neckline, trying to put neckline facing on the outside, creating a pattern for a pleated skirt with pockets etc.
I love the dress, although part of me thinks I must be mad to have spent an entire free 34ºC Saturday inside sewing.

oh i love it! and actually, i just made a VERY similar dress for my 4 year old...my post is going up later this week. now you have my wheels turning to make one for myself!
It's a beauty! Love the different colors.
I love it, especially the two colours for the neckline! I sew on beautiful days ;)
Devine! I have a bunch of dresses waiting to be altered and I'm feeling inspired to do something a little more mis-matched and interesting with them now : )
@Kristin. Excellent. Cannot wait to see it. And do make one for yourself. I am sure it's going to be a piece of cake for you.
@Laliete - Thank you.
@Frambooske - I am not alone :)
@Rhiannon - Great. Looking forward to seeing them. Mismatched sounds good.
lovely dress ! keep sewing. see you soon. o.o
@csr. Thank you. I think I won't be able to stop myself.
Love the floral and two color neckband! I think that sewing with the window open on nice days is the best time to sew, especially if there's a good breeze!
