Veronica with added sunshine and pocket

I think my face says it all – I love this dress. I have been stopped in the street twice while wearing this asking where I got it – not a common occurrence.

This is a African Wax fabric from Roya Textiles in Peckham. It’s such a great print – it seems to exude summer and you can’t help but smile when you see it. I have also made a skirt for myself with it (another Seamworks pattern now I come to think of it – a Brooklyn which I will post soon too).

I used the Bonus variation that adds the kangaroo pocket and that is a real winner. I’d add them to every dress I make if I could. The variation means the skirt is split to add the front panel which a pouch is then added to. The variation did the same to the bodice – I guess to allow the seam to continue, but seeing as the seam is split by the waist band anyway I didn’t bother splitting the bodice.
