mini dress polka dot Nellie Brown Tall 59 Department Lucy Wrap Mini Dress -

I cant tell you how many messages I get from women asking for dresses with sleeves

I broke the rules and used a lightweight tricot iron-on interfacing, placing a scrap of velvet underneath so the pile is face to face before fusing

Pattern and Sizing: I used Burda.....more valgal rates it for All sewists a I love the drama of this dress and wow how fast and easy it is

Classic Half-Up Half-Down Gather the crown and secure

I wouldnt wear the loudest pattern you own in your closet, but its okay to mix in some prints

I did feel like a little fairy floating through NYC in this dress and the cream version is absolutely stunning, too
