The pattern I used was the "Magpie Dress" by Sinbad and Sailor a British indie sewing pattern company. It's a very easy pattern - only four pieces and no darts, zippers or anything else to confuse you. If you've been thinking about giving sewing a try but feel a bit nervous about it then I really recommend you try this frock and its SUPER simple to make. My only complain is when I cut it out it was FREAKING HUGE on me! It is a looser style of frock - but honestly I took it in so much. I think next time I make it I will make it a couple of sizes smaller.
To be honest with you all - I wasn't sure I liked this dress at ALL! But I decided to wear it to work today anyway. When Rich took this photos for me after work I decided I do like this dress. I guess its a bit different from my usual style - but I have to admit I did have a crush on this pattern for a very LONG time. I'm happy that I finally got around to making it and that its kind of awesome (and super easy as well).
Have a super week everyone!

I love the colour. It's so cute that you guys all made something with the same fabric.
For some reason teal doesn't suit me at all. I love the color but I look stupid wearing it - so I envy those who look good in that color XD. I def like that dress :)

It's a fantastic colour, and looks great on you. And it does sound a very straightforward pattern - maybe I should try it! xxxx
I love that colour on you Trees, looking good! You inspire me to re-learn my sewing machine skills one of these days! Xx
Sewing is all about the love hate relationship I think. But the story always begins with the love and can flip flop many times before you actually wear it. Your dress looks great.
It's hard to even notice the dress with that second adorable photo of your face. You are beautiful what a lovely shot! I love teal and you should be proud you made that!
Xxoo
It's fabulous, the colour is wonderful with your dark hair! x
TEAL, I love that colour, I love it when it verges on petrol blue too....it's quite a divoon shade on you, lovely! It's a great little frock too! Bugger you didn;t make the great teal unveiling, but this is way better,'cos we're all in on it! XXX
1- you paired it up nicely with simple brown boots and belt, and necklace;
2- I saw the dress pattern site, and I do see what you mean about how easy a sewing pattern it is. Definitely needs a belt... And what a difference darts make to a dress huh?!?
Hope you're feeling better and didn't catch the full-blown man flu.
That dress is SO cute! You did an amazing job! :)
