Piece of Cake
Using this pattern from Jody Pearl of Sew Outside the Lines:
sewoutsidethelines.bigcartel.com/product/piece-of-cake-frock
....i made this dress using ONLY fabrics and notions from my massive stash (determined to craft thru some of my raw materials this year!).
the bodice fabric is a vintage remnant. the skirt and bias trim fabric is upcycled from a pair of PJs. there wasn't enough of either fabric to cut the full pattern pieces so i improvised by adding a piece of the purple fabric to the bodice back and a strip of randomly-pieced fabric (that was going to be a obi years ago) to the skirt.
am not loving the look of the bust darts. but hey, it was my first dress from this pattern, and my first attempt (ever) at adding bust darts to a garment, so all-in-all i'm pleased.
