Robin sent me a link to this dress on Etsy, isn’t it marvelous?
It’s got such a great shape, not to mention the topstitching (I’m such a sucker for topstitching) and that little bow at the neck … very inspiring, don’t you think?

I feel like this pattern might be a good candidate for some of my hoard of dotted swiss …
