My BSF made this dress by Marcy Tilton (Vogue 8975) and tried to convince me to sew one with her. “It will look like a big gunny sack on me” I scoffed. Well I tried on Debra’s dress when she finished and loved it! It’s comfy, clever, perfect for the change of seasons, and no, it does not look like a gunny sack. I should have modeled it, since it actually looks better on me than on Roxy.
One does need to read the directions for this dress. The garment goes together fairly quickly despite many pieces and a few odd instructions, for example attaching a point on the hem to the bottom of the pocket.
I made three minor modifications to the pattern. The collar is my invention and I am very happy with it. You may see it again in the very near future. I used three fabrics instead of two, and I shortened the dress two inches so it doesn’t overwhelm me. There’s a lot of fabric in this dress, but it is light and soft so it all works. The back is pretty jazzy too!

I love it too. Looks like – soft, feminine and flattering. Please do model it for us Wendy.
It’s so much easier dressing Roxy, but I’ll model again soon.
I’m gaga over this- enviable work, Ma’am.
I checked your blog out, and started following you. Wish I had your sense of humor!
Awesome, but can you wear it with freckles? Can’t wait to see you wearing that dress.Mickey
I hope so…I have a few!
Triumph! Want it!
Now I plan on making a solid color like on your blog.
What a good coming together of design, style and fashion boldness! Love the fabric, the collar and am smiling at your comments and happy to hear that you like the dress and the pattern! I’m adding your blog to ones I follow.
Thanks Marcy! My BSF (Best Sewing Friend) and I are planning on making your coat this fall.
SOOOO Fun! love the scale of the prints in your combo Wendy. I bet it is great on you too. Diane
I’ll wear it in Taos!
