While I was not able to cross off everything from my To-Do list this weekend, I did make a decision about the dress. I found this fabric on sale sorry for the photo quality; I used my iPhone..., and the pattern will be on sale later in the week (for $1.99!) so I figured it is at least worth trying. If I do not like the dress the originals will hopefully be on sale by the time I am finished. If I do like the dress, I will have spent less than $20 and the dress will have pockets!
I settled on the Butterick 5455 pattern, partially because of the sale price, but also because I like that the middle band is slightly smaller than in the Vogue pattern I was looking at.
By the way, thanks to my younger sister for helping me with fabric selection and thanks to Amanda for asking me about it today!
Looking forward to seeing how it turns out. I've only just started sewing. :)
