a visit to the op shop from miss s, rendered a bag of goodies for me to alter and play with...
this was two over sized... i have to say "shifts" for over sized bodies....obese bodies....
originally two squares stitched together, with a hole for the head to go through....
the fabric got me in...
i cut off the side seams and was left with nearly a 2 metre piece of fabric from each shift...
summer fashion in the shops here, seems to be all about colour, bright, contrasting colour, with no connection.....
here is what was born....
not loved by Miss S...
but I am certainly a happy recipient of a new summer dress....
let out the drawstring and it goes from a 10 to a 12...
There are two more over sized shifts to dice into....let out the drawstring and it goes from a 10 to a 12...
oh the possibilities....
i cut this pattern from an existing top that i love, added some length and an uneven frill on the bottom.... i know the photos don't show it, but the back is slightly longer than the front...
i have so many projects to start....wish i could find more hours in the day....

That fabric is a lovely deep red - and the purple addition is perfect. Very nice!!! Time poor - yep, my problem too.
