I heard that Spring is coming, but it's hard to believe when there's still snow flying! I'm going to be optimistic anway, and stitch up something lightweight and short-sleeved!
I've had this Gorgeous silk print for a year now, having only bought a yard and perplexed as to how to use it. This one is very similar! Originally, I was going to make a short sleeved blouse, but never got around to it. Recently I was digging through my pattern drawer and it occurred to me... pair the print with a black silk and make that color-blocked dress you've been wanting!
So, it still needs a zipper, sleeves, and a lining, but it's shaping up to be a stunner!

That's stunning! I hope spring weather finally gets here so you can wear it!
Getoutahea!That is straight off the runway and drop dead gorgeous. Great dress, Kristine!
That's how we start stashes, buying for a specific garment and then not making it. But, you've solved that problem magnificently. Gorgeous dress.
It is looking stunning and this is a great idea for smaller pieces of standout (or expensive!) fabrics.
Stunning - yes it is!
That dress is stunning!! Looks straight off the runway!
Hello, just stumbled upon your blog. I really like this dress and your black and ivory creation. Simply beautiful! -Nizzy
Fantastic! I love how you combined the fabrics -- very chic, and it really allows the print to stand out.
I'm loving what I see so far!
So how did this one turn out because the fabric combo is pretty awesome...and the dress is looking good so far!
OOOH, I have this fabric. Love the dress. Love it!
Your fabric choice makes this pattern look amazing. I have this pattern too, but was not convinced it would be worth it to make from the pattern review photos I've seen; yours demonstrates that with the right drape and color choice this can be stunning.
