McCall's Marina dress

The fabric print in this post might seem familiar to you. It's the same as on the sweatshirts I showed you in this post, only the color and fabric are different. The sweatshirts were made from french terry, but Cloud9 Fabrics decided the print would also look good on rayon; it certainly does, and in a new color - orange! Of course this thrilled Jess, Ms. HowAboutOrange herself, so she had to have a dress made from it. She chose the McCall's Marina dress pattern (M8090). It was pretty easy to sew, although gathering and pinning the ruffles was somewhat time-consuming. 

Here she is modeling it. She describes the fabric as "so light, soft, comfy, and orange!"

(Nice that she had coordinating flowers for the photo shoot, right?)

Yes, I made her a mask to match, because when wearing something this pretty, your "accessories" must coordinate, right? :)

Well, writing this post went pretty smoothly. Maybe Blogger is getting the kinks worked out? Good thing, because I have another garment to blog about (still awaiting pics). Aaaand I may have tested another pattern that I want to show you, too. Come back and check later.....
