This dress had so many little pieces, which was perfect for using up the ends of some favorite fabrics. Very fun pattern! The headband is not part of the pattern. . .made that one up.

This is the first Simplicity 2591 dress I made (I made another which will probably appear later in the month). I made it with Michael Miller Marcia fabric, and it is View D of the pattern.
It was rainy and cold today, so I'm wearing the dress with brown tights, an old brown cardigan from Debenhams (with pretty multicoloured buttons!), a bright pink flower necklace, my Nica handbag and my hot pink cowboy boots from America! You can't see too clearly in the picture, but the centres of the flowers are hot pink, which is why I chose to accessorise with pink.
I originally blogged about this dress here: threadcarefully.wordpress.com/2011/04/17/tabathas-april-c...
This is the second version of this dress I have made - this one is made with fabric bought at Scarborough Sewing Centre and it's called Brooklyn Heights and is designed by Kitty Yoshida. Scarborough sewing centre sell a range of quilting cottons but this is a lighter cotton more suited to dressmaking.
I'm wearing the dress with grey tights (to match the weather!) and Irregular Choice shoes.

Photography has taught me to look towards the simple things of my life..to look at smallest thing..to look with a different angle.
