Thinking About An Easter Dress

I've been thinking about an Easter Dress for myself for a few weeks now, and I suppose I should actually get to making one.  Carolyn posted some pictures of some really nice dresses from Talbot's the other day and I really liked this one:


I'm thinking this vintage McCall's would work for me to get a similar look.  I've made this pattern before, so I know it fits.

I even have a fabric that would work for it, and a possible button, although I'm thinking I'm not going to do the tab and button.  I'm thinking of cutting the center fronts on a fold and skipping the tab.


Of course, I do have to find a coordinating cardigan.  That shouldn't be too hard . . .

Parting Shot:  Sit Up!  Wellie will play with anything!  This bit of string was still attached to some fabric and we never let him have string just to play with.  Once the fun was over, the string was removed and put in a trash can that he can't get to inside a closet.

That would look lovely. Making it up in a pattern that doesn't need alterations will certainly speed it up. Good luck :)

Oh no you must keep the tab and add the interesting button then it's a Summerset original not just a Talbots knock-off!
