The last post and the black bathing suit cover up had me thinking about how simple construction can be good for clothes that I wear on a daily basis. So many patterns available are complicated, and the simple ones are so simple you think they can't be interesting, but in the last post a beautiful print is sometimes all you need to dress it up. This is my new favorite dress for the summer.
It was expensive, so I only bought a yard, and very little is left, the white selvage was trimmed and used to face the sleeve openings.
Was a little unsure about the colors at the start but it looks great on me, and goes with at least 3 sandals I already own.

I love it, simply love it. Would also like to see it on you some time.
Agree! The beautiful print would be lost in a complicated design. This is perfect, too cute!
LOVE it! I think the fabric colors are perfect for you, I bet it looks stunning. It would be hard to only wear this as a swimsuit coverup.
What a lovely piece of fabric and great idea using the selvage for facing. I just bought some silk jersey from Mood. I might have to use the selvage.
Mary Beth = Thank You! I promise as soon as the end of the month rolls around I'll model them.
Corinne = Thank you, this has given me ideas for other prints languishing in the stash.
Becki - This is no swimsuit cover up, I will be wearing this around town.
Teri = Welcome, Ohhh silk jersey, anything you make with it will be luxurious.
I totally agree with you that simple garments are good for daily clothes, and using a wild print is the way to make them special. I recognized this as expensive immediately! :-)
Thanks Mary!!
I completely misread, its a beautiful 'around town' dress. I need to so things like this instead of wearing jeans everywhere. Its so creative and chic.
No worries I find I do that all the time.
