Those of you at the Sydney Sewers Social have already seen this. I made this dress specifically for the day and have worn it a few times since.
It’s a little creased in the pictures but the wrinkles drop out fairly quickly. I made a straight size 14, with no alterations. This isn’t my first vogue 8805, I made a ponti version last winter. The neck is a bit tight at the front, I didn’t have this problem in the ponti version, so if I make it again I will lower the front neck opening a centimeter or 2.
The pink linen was purchased from Tessuti in Melbourne last year, the others were in the stash a while.
A nice simple pattern for a quick casual dress.

A great version of V8805. I’m sure you’ll get lots of wear out of it.

This is a great summer dress and I really loved how you wore it on the day. But I didn’t know it was made just for the social meet up. Now that’s impressive.

I really like the dress and it just may be the inspiration I need to use up some of my own linen.

Very impressive dress and it was the perfect dress for the sultry day we had.
