I was reminded today that I never added a pattern review for Simplicity 2724, so that's here. Much as I loved this dress when I finished it, it's just too humid in Philadelphia in summer to wear a snug-fitting totally lined dress. I would have melted, and the dress would not have been the better for it. Today the weather was in the 70s, and the dress finally came out of the closet.
Also, a picture of me wearing the second, plaid version of the Fatina dress. I really like this one, and I'm still mulling over another version. I'm also mulling over another version of S 2724, with the narrow skirt this time, in black, with (yet another) print top.
But next up, hopefully, is the remake of Mario's jacket. I found a great houndstooth wool last time I was in NYC, and I found out yesterday that the drycleaner under my building actually has no problem steaming/ pressing/ shrinking fabric - and only charged me $5 for three yards of wool.

Psyched about your dry cleaners, I'll send you all my wools! Just kidding. ;)
That first dress is fabulous! The second one is pretty too. Enjoy wearing those great clothes in the cooler weather.
Great dresses! They look sooo much better with you wearing them.
The dresses are beautiful! I love the Simplicity dress. So what are you working on this weekend?
