Coffee Date Dress from Burdastyle.com

Before looking at the sizing difference between Burdastyle.com and standard US sizing, I had already finished this dress. But that's ok, I have found it a good home.

I left off the ruffle in the regular pattern, as I thought it would be more versatile without it. It's simple and I was able to finish it in a few hours, but still very cute. As it turned out to be too small for me I obviously couldn't take a picture with it on.

I finished this one earlier this week, but didn't have time to write about it, I really like this one but if I were to do it again I would have went out and bought brown thread instead of using the orange I already had. Also I would have used Bias tape where it said to instead of "faking it", but that's ok. It's still pretty :)

This dress in my favorite so far, and I completed it in one day :)
The directions were pretty easy to follow, and this was first time working with pleats and pockets.

My first dress!

For this dress I used McCall's patten 5094, and it was view "D". I am very excited, this being my first dress and all. It would have been done a couple weeks ago, but I had to find time to go and get a zipper, which i got last week, but forgot the hooks and eyes... I got those today, and it's done! :)
