OK, those highly desirable and exciting patterns have STILL not arrived. I could no longer hold out on my fabric stash (including some recently arrived reprodepot goodies), so yesterday afternoon I whipped this up after coming back from the Renegade Craft Fair. Me and the bf quite enjoyed the fair, although it was UNGODLY hot. My main objective was the Reprodepot booth, but the fabric remnants were all too small to make my sort of project (great, no doubt, if you're a quilter or bagmaker). And I chickened out on telling them how much I adored their stuff.

Without further ado, the dress:


I modified the pattern a bit to make the bodice more fitted (OK, make it actually fit, less boxy). Edges trimmed with bias tape. Without facings I can juuuust make this dress from two yards, so I've been sticking with the bias tape. I think if I make this dress again though, I'll get 3 yards so I can do the facings properly and maybe do some kind of trim (faux placket with buttons? patch pockets?).
