This dress I made from a $6 cotton duvet that I found at Saint Vincent duPaul. The dark blue gray accents are done in a cotton twill.

I hadn't made this pattern in about 18 months and after selling so many of my staple dresses, I wanted to whip it up.
I realize I need to redraft this pattern, its a bit big in places. Now that I have slopers, I get to make this in a very proper fit.

I went all out on the piping with this dress. Even did piping on the bound button holes.

I'm planning on wearing this to a BBQ this weekend.

All progress is on the blog.
