I'm searching for the perfect-for-me-summer-dress pattern because it is time to let my ever favourite Schoolhouse Tunic go! (or maybe just until the weather cools down again....)
I looked at the Washi Dress pattern, and even downloaded it, but decided The Staple Dress is more my style.
I made it, I shirred it - shirring for the first time ever using the assistance of the excellent online tutorial from Made by Rae (who designed the Washi Dress that I didn't end up making- oops!) - and now I have a new dress for summer! Hooray!!
And is it the perfect-for-me-summer-dress?
I don't think so, but I'll have a better idea after I make it again with a purpose bought fabric rather than grabbing any old fabric I happened to have in my rather limited stash at the time.
With that, my search continues, but as I already have another pattern traced and ready to cut, hopefully it may not be too long before I get there!
I hope you all had a lovely weekend.

P.S. Don't you just love Ken in the bottom corner of the dress photo? He's such a schmoozer!! Can you just make out the other dolly on his right side? Ha!!
Love the fabric! I'm always looking for the perfect dress, I think I need one that is much more fitted which is a pain as it takes so much longer to make.
