The pattern for this dress came from this book-style P. The fabric was purchased last year when I joined the joy of sewing yahoo group. It is a co-op for buying discounted fabric from apparel manufactuers. This particular fabric is knit and the accent fabric is scraps from another old old navy T. I would not recommend using knit for this dress, I was just trying to use up what I had. Also I will note that it was rather wide and I ended up cutting down the shoulders, taking in the side seams, and shrinking the sleeves quite a bit. And once again opted for the quick use of the snap press instead of buttons.

I guess the pattern is different from what the picture shows. I never would have guessed that it would be wide. Another cute fabric and professional sewing job.
