How About Some Beach?

 Hello all, 

I apologize for this post being late!

I decided to show you my beach dress this time. I made it free-hand last year, and I like the end result.

Makes me want to do some beach dresses in different colors!
I'd also like to experiment with a different collar design.
The collar is separate from the dress. It is attached by a hook-and-eye in the front of the bodice. I like that I can take it off when I want to wash the dress.
I also like that the collar covers my zipper closure.

In case you are curious about the sleeves
 
What have you been creating recently?
 
to God be the glory,
 Miss Humphrey

  1. Very pretty. Makes me think of Jane Austin!

    I'm not creating a lot these days, but I'm excited because after over a decade of slowly renovating and remodeling our 100-year-old house, I'm finally going to get a little sewing room! It's mostly a cosmetic facelift for the space, but I'll have a place to organize everything and work on projects.

  2. I love this dress. The color and style are perfect for a summer day. It is too bad you don't make patterns for us to follow!

    1. Oh, thank you! I have thought of making patterns before, but I don't think I'm ready for that yet. Maybe once I master my own sewing difficulties I will feel confident enough to make patterns;)
