Made myself a classic striped dress
My navy and white stripe dress inspiration goes way back to the beginning of my Pinterest days! See what I mean?
So it's very exciting that I was able to bring these dreams to life with some fabric from Kollabora--they sent it to me for my book but it didn't make it in to any of those projects. So instead, I whipped this dress up using Simplicity 1873 and the short sleeves from Simplicity 2444. The fabric is a knit jersey, but I figured I could use it for a fitted dress! So it ended up very comfy and soft, but still keeping its shape just fine.
As seen in my pins... the classic striped dress is great with a belt. I grabbed this one from my closet. With/without...
Now for spring weather! Hope I can wear this with a lot of things this spring and summer... any ideas!??
Very cute! Looks like the perfect dress for spring and summertime bike rides.

This is really nice. I wish I could make dresses for myself. Never tried to do one.
