It feels like a lifetime ago when I made this dress. Long before Roo's wedding in October!!
It is the COCOWAWA Crafts Honeycomb Dress. The well drafted pattern comes as both a shirt and dress. I made a size 4 with no adjustments other than adding 2 1/2 inches to the skirt length and elastic to finish the sleeves rather than the pattern's ties. Cause, well ~ me. I can see sleeve ties being dragged through spaghetti sauce, garden soil, and dish water suds in rapid succession and not necessarily that order!
It is made up in a lovely grey double gauze from Fabric.com. The bodice fits very nicely and the ties at the waist give it even more flexibility.
It is easy to dress up or down. In fact, I first wore it to Roo's official wedding ceremony! (The day before her big shin dig!)
It is a pleasure to wear, especially since it is now attached to such precious memories. With leggings and an undershirt, it has been a comfy dressed down outfit for these cool spring days.
Happy May! And in honor of Melanoma Awareness Month:
