Thanks so much Greetje and thanks for commenting my on guest post over at Helen’s!
Great guest post, Sue! And your photos are beautiful, no surprise there. These are perfect light, summery dresses, bursting with personality, and also because you’re wearing them. The bold check pattern is BAM! Love it. I wouldn’t have thought of that print. Lining always makes me feel just a touch more polished, but no lining would be even cooler in hot weather. Excellent hacks!!
Thanks Mel! I’ve had the bold blue check fabric for at least a couple of years. It’s a thrift store find and as much as I loved it, I really struggled with what to make….until I hit on this dress pattern. It’s simple enough to allow the check to have big impact.
