My First Dress

 The idea came out of a Martha Stewart encyclopedia - a dress made from two rectangle pieces of fabric. As I sewed I got inspired to make a few modifications to the original design, but this is one I couldn't have done without Martha. 

 Can't wait to start my next project. I have a few ideas in my head patiently waiting to come to life. I even found some new fabrics today! 

What do you think of the dress?




I would love to pair this with a wide textured mustardy yellow belt, but I don't at the moment own one of those. I thought a wide textured brown belt was a close second...
