The reason this dress exists is because I found some fabric that I thought was hideous in my stash and used it to experiment with a new dress pattern. As it turns out, I absolutely love the pattern now. Go figure! It was officially named when a classmate exclaimed, "You look just like a present all wrapped up!" So it's the present dress. :)
This cheery fabric jumped out at me when I was visiting my in-laws in central PA. It works perfect as an empire waist, A-line dress that hits the mid-calf line. I finished it just in time for Drewski and Amy's wedding, with plenty of fabric to spare for another creation. Yay!
