Those moments, we've all had them - when you go to the store and buy stuff just because you can. because it's so beautiful/the price is great/it's that last bit on the roll and it's discontinued. Well that's exactly what happened here. Lots of fabric with no planned projects. And then out of the blue I decided to make a dress and here it is, just finished up - isn't it gorgeous?
This one definitely flatters a smaller bust. The bodice is a heavyweight cotton with a great antique style atlas print and the skirt is tea-stained cotton and lace. I LOVE the open back! I was unsure on whether to keep the handkerchief hem or round it off,
but I quite like it as it is and if I change my mind it won't be too
tricky to change. What do you think?

I like the handkerchief hem, it adds a kind of romantic global wanderer vibe to it (in a good way!)
