I can't wait to see how the dress comes out. I was looking at that pattern. That neckline seems to be so popular right now.

That's so funny I was just telling my girlfriend that I plan to make some easy sheath dress in various colors/prints for work this summer. I love them and in Bermuda, where I am originally from, you will see alot of women wear sheath dresses and very conservative euro styles to work. I always loved the look, very feminine.

That's going to be cute. Are you going to do contrasting bands for the neck and waist or will it all be one color?

What is this grading of which you speak? What's a good source (book/site) for learning how to do it?

@ Adrienne: No contrast.

@ Sappmama: Maybe you misunderstood... I just gradually increased the skirt to the next size at the fullest part of my hip.

I can already tell this is gonna be one cute dress! Best of all, you can make it again if you like it . The fabric will give a totally different look every time.

Pretty Erica. I love prints and that one is perfect for that dress. Where did you find it? Now I have to add another dress to my stack of "must do" for the summer.

Hi Erica
I know you are going to rock that dress. I love everything you have shown . I can't wait to see your completed dress. I say this for two reasons I think I am about the same size as you and for whatever reason I feel I can not wear a dress in a floral print I have to break it up. I think someone once told me this will make me look smaller but I have LOADS of floral prints. So good luck with the dress

I'm just catching up on blog reading now, and I LOVE this dress! Your fashion sense is always so spot-on. I swear you should get a job as a trendspotter!

Now I need to go buy this pattern...
