A very dear friend of mine turns thirty tomorrow. I'm surprising her with this gift. She has no idea. I just hope it fits!
Close up of the fabric to the right....
Yup, it's the same fabric as the last frock I posted, a Japanese cotton from Spotlight that I think is just splendid.
...and the pattern below
which I like so much I think I might have to make myself one in two sizes of blue stripe. I did put some folds in the sleeves because they were very flappy, and I knew my friend wouldn't like them. I made a couple of other changes to better suit her but otherwise it's pretty faithful to the original.
UPDATE: I hear, but have not seen, that it fits perfectly. Who'd have thunk it! Yay!
