\"dgd-sample1\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I’m having all sorts of server issues again. As a result, I’ve been dealing with tech support, and I’m incredibly sad that I seem to have lost a few comments – so sorry! Things have been wonky in general, so I’m playing catch up with responding to comments and fixing some backend stuff. It’s Murphy’s law, because I actually had posts prepared early in advance this week, which is something that\u00a0never<\/em>\u00a0happens. Poof<\/em>, they went, up into the ether. It turns out that procrastination is a handy trait sometimes.<\/p>\n

Moving along, this dress should be oh-so-familiar by now. It’s technically not for me, since I dropped it off at Drygoods as a sample a couple of days ago. But I conveniently made it in my size because obviously I needed to see what it would look like on a human form. I had to hold off on all the changes I planned on making (pockets, a lower neckline, possibly short or no sleeves) since I’ll be teaching how to make this from the\u00a0book<\/a>. Third time’s the charm, and the dress came together quickly. The underarm parts were still a little persnickety, but I’m pretty comfortable with them now. Info on the class should be up on the Drygoods site next week-ish? There’s a chance we might have to postpone it to March due to some scheduling issues, but we shall see.<\/p>\n

\"dgd-sample2\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This one is my favorite out of the three, and fabric makes all the difference. I used a chambray cotton, and I’m pretty sure it’s some kind of lawn. The drape is\u00a0so<\/em>\u00a0much better compared to the too-heavy linen I used before, and though the silk was lovely, the sleeves puffed out under my arms in a funky, Michelin man way (you can see take one and take two below). Not so with this beautiful thin cotton. Because I took these photos in the waning light of late afternoon, there’s a distinct pink cast to everything, but the color is that classic chambray, utilitarian pale blue. Like vintage workmen’s shirts.<\/p>\n

\"yellow-silk-tunic8\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This is a fantastic transitional dress. It’s an effortless, versatile, neutral canvas, and with my beloved “stick a scarf on it,” wardrobe philosophy, it’ll get a lot of wear over many, many seasons (once I get it back from the store). Stay tuned for take four — it will be a transformation!<\/p>\n
