The Argyle Dress - Simplicity 2187

The cool after the rain is the kind of weather we're experiencing today we experienced yesterday. 


The last time I wore this dress it was just dress and sandals but because of the weather (not the season)....not "tah-day" (in my Ray Romano voice). 
This is one of those quick projects that comes in handy when you've got a lot of running around to do and want to wear a cute little, comfortable dress to do it in.
The argyle pattern is what caught my attention about this fabric and once I touched it, well...you know the rest.   
It's a soft cotton blend with a whole lotta stretch and washes up quite nicely.  "The fabric of our lives"!!!...for real!

I like this pattern.  This dress is very straight forward and the bonus:  not a single closure.  There are a few other pieces of this pattern that I'd be interested in making. 

The jumpsuit for sure and the knit top that is View A (then I would have completed all three pieces of the pattern) but for now this pattern is tucked away in the "completed patterns" file. 

Until next time, PEACE and BLESSINGS!!!!!

    I just pulled out this exact fabric to use for a golf skirt. Great minds think alike!

    Aren't these the most useful sorts of dresses in the wardrobe - most of our life is practical, after all. It is sort of reminscent of pinafore dresses that used to be worn - until we got all jeans and corporate. I like it :)

    Your dress looks fab! I love printed fabric and yours is beautiful!
    The pattern is also very nice. I really like the Simplicity patterns, I think they fit very good. The only difficulty for me is the seam allowance... we don't have that in German patterns so I always have to remember that... :)
    Have a great start into the new week.
    (And please excuse my bad English... it's just my English from school... :))
