Simplicity 5034

I need to go to the Pub! I really like beer, and my beer drinking dress with the adjustable waist to accommodate beer bellies!

Fabric from Fabric Mart. It was inexpensive so I thought I would make my husband a shirt, no such luck, needed it all for my dress.

The only thing about this pattern is the neck is very high, and I would scoop is out just a little bit.

Keeping the picture small because all the pictures looked bad, even though I really like this dress and felt good in it. This is the Rebecca Taylor pattern that many people sewed up quite awhile ago, and once again I am one of the last to use the pattern. I lengthened the waist length a bit, the length and the ties.

That is one of the advantages of sewing it after everyone else, you get to take a look and make it right for yourself.

 The fabric is from SR Harris and it is actually a polyester eyelet, very pretty and not expensive.

Notice how the belt matches the fabric perfectly? Ha ha! The hardest part of making this dress was the fabric layout. 

The fabric is from Cali Fabrics, they had a really good selection of scarf print fabrics. Later I saw some of the same prints at Fabric Mart.

I will probably make this again!
