After a rainy week it was a beautiful Sunday afternoon here in Vancouver. I had some quiet sewing time on Saturday to finish this blue stripe dress that has been lying around for a month now... left unfinished.
This started out as a top but evolved to this dress by a happy accident. I had originally made the top too small & started anew....I did not want to use the seam ripper on this fashion knit/cotton blend fabric.
After I had finished the top I looked at it and felt it needed more.......so I added the black bias trim......then I added the top to the bottom...have I lost you yet? I thought it made this elegant drop waist with a sort of Mermaid bottom on the dress.
It was perfect to wear on a romantic drive with "the husband" to my fave beach in White Rock, BC ... I needed the wind in my hair....the fresh salt water in the air.....the hot sun....and some time with the person I love.
