weekend sewing kimono dress
From Heather Ross's Weekend Sewing. I agree with other reviews- this dress is huge. I am going to try to shorten the bodice from the shoulder seams.
Other than the size, this pattern was really nice. From cutting to the finished dress was about 2.5 hours. I used a cotton jersey fabric. For the elastic thread, I used the longest stitch and held the iron close to the seam (not directly on it) and steamed, which worked really well.
