There's nothing better than a great, simple pattern.
This is the new Heidi and Finn pattern called The Dorset Dress. It's a simple a-line dress with some lovely details, which are my favourite kind. The PDF went together without any difficulty and didn't use up too many pages.
The back closes with a hidden button placket. I really liked this feature as it was nice not to fiddle with zippers or button loops.
To be honest I wasn't sure about the button tabs on the front. I was planning on leaving them off but then during sewing it together I was worried it was looking a tad plain. So I ended up adding them with some blue piping for extra effect, I'm so glad I did, but Freya keeps putting her hands in them expecting pockets.
The fabric is some Cotton and Steel I bought without any project in mind. I've noticed I have been using a lot of blue and teal in my sewing so it was nice to give Freya a pop of colour.
