Oh my, it's been a whole month since I posted a single thing! Don't fret. I'm still crafting. I just haven't finished anything (not even the wedding-intended dress).
One of my current works in progress is this ruffled and striped sun dress. I'm using the shirt pattern McCalls M5388. I've used this pattern twice before, but never with the ruffles. I also added a lining this time because the fabric is a little sheer.
All I have left to do are a few finishing elements. I've lost some momentum though. I can't really decide what to do next. I'm thinking I'd like pockets and a thin tie/belt held in place with carriers. I had originally considered adding a ruffle to the hem but now I think that will be overkill. Any thoughts? Ideas for fancy pocket details? Thanks in advance and happy summertime!!!
