I know its been awhile since I've posted but I have been working on some things. Here are some of the stuff in progress.
First up S2996
This dress is pretty much done I just ran out of buttons and it needs to be hemmed
I have a love/hate relationship with this dress. I love the fit. The cut of this dress really flatters my body, but the color makes me think of fashionable scrubs. The dress is really well drafted. All I had to do was make a 2" FBA and everything fell into place. Since the dress fits so well I do plan on wearing it. I bought some red cotton sateen to make the dress again.
Next up M5094
I did a mock-up of this dress and it fits really well. I love this fabric because the flowers go from small to big. I really wanted to take advantage of that feature in the fabric by using the small flowers for the bodice and the large flowers for the skirt. Because of this now I have to buy another yard of fabric to do the back skirt portion since I ran out of big flowers.
This seems to be the theme for my weekend. Wanting to make things and not having all the supplies.
I hope to have both dresses finished by next weekend and working on something new.

Both look wonderful so far.
honestly, I see what you mean about the color of the first dress but it may be because you haven't dressed it up with accessories, let us know if it grows on you, the style is something I would wear also.
and you are right about the mccalls dress print, that is a winner, I love the color combo and the small to big flowers also, can't wait to see the finished garment.
have a good week
Like the shirtdress. You've got me worried about the color now, I recently purchase soft green fabric and now scrubs come to mind...lol. But like Toya said once its accessorized it will look totally different. I like the print of the second progress dress. Looking for to FOs.
