I’ve been on the lookout for some dress patterns that would be suitable for winter wearing here in Chicago. And while the dress on the right doesn’t initially look a winter dress, if I made it with long sleeves, it would be great with a pair of boots. That cool boat neckline would be perfect to pair with a scarf! Now I have to decide what color and what to do for buttons. Because on a pattern like this…it’s all about the fun buttons!
