Goodness knows what a beginner would have made of it.

It will make another perfect background dress like your 'Nude' shift. The colour will show off jewellery perfectly too. Have to smile at the irony of it being a Vogue Very Easy pattern - sounds like it is anything but.jennywrenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11867498584073110293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-23515508380266812042010-04-22T01:07:50.400-04:002010-04-22T01:07:50.400-04:00Sometimes it's the so-called easiest patterns ...Sometimes it's the so-called easiest patterns that have me the most confused.

You really had your brain power engaged on this one, didn't you. hehehe I could really relate to your remark about how you aren't sure you could have worked out the pleat and lining issues when you first got the pattern. I am not sure I could have done it without better instructions. Great job and I can hardly wait to see it on you. I love those pleats AND the fabric and think when you are finished, it will be a "classic look" stunner!Stashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03064220415021728232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20705637.post-84922777729757372362010-04-21T21:41:10.769-04:002010-04-21T21:41:10.769-04:00Ooh, I like it.
