Spring Church Dress

I got on a roll with sewing this afternoon, and I finished up a dress that I was going to have done for Easter. I never did get it done in time. I had the top part finished, but didn't feel like doing the skirts, putting in a zipper up until today... =)

It is a polyester (Simply Silky) from JoAnn's that I picked up on sale last year; it looked so cheery, and springish! And sorry, but I don't have any pattern numbers for this dress since a friend of mine gave me her's and I almost want to say that she made it up. But it is a princess-seam style dress with short sleeves, and straight, a-line style skirts with darts.


I thought on the chilly days, my Land's End sweater, which was a $3 thrift store find, would pair up nicely with it:

That is lovely! The color of the sweater is so perfect for picking up the color in the dress. They look like they were meant for each other. :)

Glad your finger is doing better!
