I was looking through my stash and I found this interesting dress pattern. I plan to make View A, with the pouffy skirt, and to add pockets.

Great pattern – can’t wait to see how it turns out. I love view B so I’ll have to keep an eye out for this one!

with every project, you’re getting girlier and girlier! Will this one be black?

Yes, it will be, but black with some texture on it, so not plain black. I really wanted to post the fabric choice, but sometimes I think it’s bad luck to do that. I’m really glad I conquered my fear of poofy skirts last year.

Wow – that looks wonderful. I love both of those styles – can’t wait to see what it looks like. I may have to scour the internet for my own copy of this pattern.

Thanks, Jenny! Me too, it’s very unusual for dresses like this.
