Shari Dress
Originally uploaded by scarlettquilts
This is size 48 Shari, the largest it is drafted for. i don't really need to use the back zipper, it slips over my head. It fits and it is a good fun day dress. My husband actually says it looks nice on me and he is the brutal honest type that makes horrible comments like "you are going to wear that to the Gianelli street fair? (Gianelli is a local Italian sausage maker.) Later I'll try for photos with me in it but I'll have to find my leggings as I have been putting off shaving legs and don't want to horrify anyone.
It is my first UFO entry and is my contribution to the red dress sew along on Patternreview. It is red corduroy purchased at JoAnn's and a remnant I used to practice bias piping. I ended up using it for the dress, although imperfect as I am tired of languishing projects because of perfectionist tendencies. It is the same thing that keeps me from sewing up nice stash fabric. The dress really came together easily and is fun to wear. My only regret is not putting in pockets but I suppose I can always add patch pockets as I have plenty of scraps due to the bias skirt pieces.
