A while ago, I happened on Advance 7065, an American Designer Pattern by the designer, Jerry Parnis. Not a designer I was familiar with but I loved view 2.
I knew I had exactly the right fabric for this dress so put in on my to do list. Many months later, I finally got to this dress. Making this dress had its pitfalls that you can read more about the problems and general experience making up this pattern on my blog. Nevertheless, I am really happy with this dress it is very comfortable and the fitting was not the problem I had anticipated.
I do plan to make some changes: The most important is more buttons!! This dress kept flipping open in the wind showing off my utilitarian slip. UGH!
