I'm not sure what to call this dress. I can't find the pattern on any of the websites, so I assume it's out of print, and I've misplaced it here at home, so no pattern number. It's just a princess-seam dress. The pattern was for a strapless dress that was straight across the front. I added straps, omitted the boning, and made a sweetheart neckline for some pizzazz. The fabric is a linen/cotton from JoAnn's. I can't find it at the online store, but I did see a bolt my local store the other day. This is the dress I wore as a skirt with my new green top.
I didn't take a closeup pic, but I added a detail at the hem. I hemmed as usual and then pleated a narrow bias strip and hand-sewed it peeking out the bottom. It is a cute detail and gives the skirt some body.
I'm just realizing these photos are quite old. My hair is about 3 inches longer now!

Super cute! I like what I can see of the hemline treatment. (Great shoes too!)
