Simple dress for work
I made a pretty basic dress style from a nice, moderately heavy weight of soft poly blend from JoAnn's 50% off clearance, so I think it was about $2/yard. It's sort of a wintery color, so I probably won't wear this dress too many more times this year since I'm starting to get excited for spring...
I used a Simplicity Project Runway Pattern, Simplicity 2473.
I opted for the simplest style, without the overlapping collar or cap sleeves. I thought it would be more versatile that way, to be worn under (or over?) things. But now that it's done it looks pretty darn plain...
Of course I can add a belt...
Wide or narrow! And I could wear a black blazer over it to make it a little more suiting-like. Or just a cardigan... what do you think? All I can really think to wear with it is black, but I'd like to have an option that was less stuffy. Anything artistic I could do with it?
Of course I don't have to go to work today (yay holiday) but I hope to wear the dress this week!
