A Short Post About a Short Dress

I saw this dress on Pinterest and fell in love with it. Linen is great for hot Indiana summers, and the flowy cut makes it look so comfortable and relaxed.

I made a trip to the fabric store, but wasn't able to find what I wanted (Okay, I'll be honest. I couldn't find the price I wanted). Luckily, Goodwill is in the same parking lot, as is a Salvation Army Family Store. Very dangerous area. Here's the dress I found:

It's several sizes larger than I wear which makes it perfect for altering. I also love the color and floral pattern. All I did was gather the neckline, add some pleats to the waistband in the front and the back, and gathered the dress a little bit before sewing on the black band on the bottom.

So there it is. A short post about a short dress.
