Made_in_ny_2 I haven’t made a dress for myself since the lavender dotted-swiss number in high school (can’t you just picture it?) Wrap around dresses were popular then, too. I got this pattern from this Japanese sewing book, I want to make everything in it.

    I agree with Mamalana. You’re multi-talented!
    I happen to love wrap dresses!
    I think you’re too young to remember Gunny Sax (Sp?) dresses. They were all the rage when I was young.
    Madonna has a lovely new line out at H & M. The beautiful dress you’ve just made, reminds me of one of her pieces.

    What a sublime dress. Really fantastic work. I loved the dolls you made for the orphanage and should have guessed you just had heaps of hidden sewing talent. Thanks for sharing.
