August - Wrapping up!

The wrapping part refers to my August project. Lately I've been wanting to sew a wrap dress, like from the 70s. I figure it would be something easy to make and easy to toss on and go. I won a pattern on ebay, and it arrived a couple of days ago! It's here in time to sew for the August project. Here it is:

Unfortunately the scanner cropped off some of the envelope, and I'm not about to struggle with that #$*& machine again, so I'll just tell you that it's Simplicity 7705. The copyright date is 1976, so I figure that's pretty much retro enough.

Since I'm in Houston, and fall doesn't start until, oh, Decemberish, I'll be doing this in a lightweight fabric. I'm picturing a wild, psychedelic floral. I'm off to the fabric store after work to see what strikes my fancy!
