another dress.........

We had some friends out yesterday and someone had a birthday.............so
we had to have a present...............she picked out some fabric and I made
up this dress..........
.......Sort of combined effort from this top and this
dress...........still not quite right but getting closer to what i
want.............the wider binding wasn't so good around the top as it was a
but too wide..............maybe by the fourth one I will be able to get what
I want between the 2 patterns.

Catch you later..............

I really like it :o) ... nice and cool. The colour and the spots are a definite plus for me too lol.
If you're not so keen on the binding ... maybe you could fold the outer edge over making it half the width, and stitch it down (??).
Hugs,
Joy ;o)
