And I took up the next word on the One little word blog, simplicity. For me this word fell apart in two words, simple city. And that to me is Angkor What in Cambodia. I visited it a few years ago and it was just a beautiful and sacred place, it fits the word simplicity perfectly!! I used an definition on the journaling of simplicity: clearity, beautiful and purity. That is.. Angkor!

This is such a fun and flirty dress! I love the hooded Top also! This is a "Simple To Sew" Pattern and is sized for stretch knits only. The hooded short dress and the top with high rounded neckline have a keyhole opening fastened with thread loop and button, long set-in bell sleeves and straight or zig-zag top-stitching trim. The top features a shaped lower edge. The short flared skirt has a back zipper and elastic waistline casing.

i cheated a bit... but thank you to sunni for giving me the kick in the booty i needed to finish this!

Fabric is AMH voile, black linen blend from Joann's and a pink cotton broadcloth lining.
this is my first time with this pattern and i'm not sure i made the right size. the waist is snug but i have horizontal creases above the bust line when i wear it. i'm not a garment pro, but after a google search, i think i may need to try a hollow chest adjustment? or a sba? not sure which.
i modified the pattern a bit by lining the bodice but then when it came time to attach the bodice to the skirt and zip, i treated the bodice as one piece and left my seams visible. that then left the question of how i would deal with the side seams without using an armhole facing, so i decided to wing it and use french seams for the sides.
Overall, a fun dress to make and i would like to try again and have the bodice fit a bit better next time...
A little big. Used a lightweight cotton fabric with little street-scenes purchased in Langley, MD. Dug the fabric out of a box of stuff to give away and thought I'd give it another try.
We'll see if this ever comes out of the closet.

I think I once owned this, or one very similar to it. My mother used it to make me a Civil War reenacting blouse.
Work in progress - I need to add sleeves, finish the hem, add a hook and eye, and then I'm done! I did all of this TODAY. Third dress EVER.
