Ready for Anything

Isn’t this gown magnificent? It’s from Lanetz Living.

I desperately want to make this up in a heavy black silk/cotton. You might wear it to ANYTHING. I’d wear the collar open, probably, with a scarf (if I were feeling dashing) or colored beads … I wouldn’t wear a brooch or pin for concern of getting it caught on something as well as ripping the dress.

If I had just one spare day’s worth of time in the next two months I would get this pattern outright. (I, um, already bought that fabric. Black silk/cotton for $6.99/yard? Please.) however lately I’ve been trying not to hoard patterns that I understand I won’t sew ideal away; it doesn’t seem rather fair. I just depend on that when I have the time, the world will make the pattern offered to me. (I desire I might feel that method about fabrics, however they are SO much harder to browse for …)

This one should have a great home. That skirt! Those pockets! I like the short-sleeved version finest (although I most likely would leave off the cuffs — they’re so lumpy under a cardigan).

This gown doesn’t have to be dressy — it would be marvelous in a red-and-white embroidered cotton, too. So sporty! You might wear it with red Keds as well as it would be adorable.
