All summer I wanted a strappy dress but could not find exactly the right pattern. I had a vague idea of what I wanted but it was hazy. It felt like when a word is on the tip of your tongue. The idea was there, just out of reach. And then I saw the Jessica Dress by Mimi G and SewSewDef magazine. And Bam! That was the dress I had been looking for all summer. It had the spaghetti straps and was fitted at the bust but still casual with big pockets and a gathered skirt. Exactly what I was looking for.
