Working on a sundress pattern I’d like to have done in time for vacation—and of course, I quipped that it would be amusing to be finishing it on the plane, and now I really really want to do that. Because it would be hilarious.

I'm going with the halter design in the middle for this one;while I like the sleeves of the top design, I don't think those tiny gathers will work well with the fabric, and the box pleats just aren't singing to me. Besides, I think the scalloped hem I'm envisioning will be
adorable.

The fabric I’ve had in my
stash for about three years now, but I’ve never quite been satisfied
with my ideas for it. It’s fairly thin, but has a lot of body, so I
decided to minimize the gathered areas on the dress to an accent at the
center neck and a little bit at the waistline to set the (gored) skirt.
I’m also definitely doing a deep self facing on the hem to
take advantage of the fabric’s qualities and to help hold the skirt out
in the belled shape I’m imagining. I have four yards of 44-inch fabric, so it should be more than enough for my purposes—even if I need four yards for the skirt, it's a short dress, so I can fit the pieces into two linear yards of fabric.
