Simplicity 7649

Do you ever contemplate how lucky we are that we know how to sew? How often can we go into the store and find something that fits good, is nicely priced and matches your style? Plus, it's such a good creative outlet and we get to show it off too!

Another older pattern (1997). This pattern is good because it offers a lot of places for easy adjustments. I made the back wider and shortened the straps, pretty much par for the course.

How often do I share back views? You could use a different fabric for the front bodice and back straps, like a lace, how cute would that be?

The braid is sewn to the dress, I have quite a few lengths of braid, so might as well use it. The next dress in the works is pink and has braid too! Hate to change the thread...lazy!

Good pattern, might be worth a small investment if you find it online.
