Romancing the Dress: My Go-To Special Occasion Frock

This special occasion dress inspired me to create the October 2012 podcast- 002: Romancing the Dress. Stop by the iTunes store and download this free show.

* Sewn 3 or 4 years ago
* Worn once to the opera, to see La Boheme, and once to a party. 

Seems like this gal really only needs one special occasion frock!

Recently revisiting the use I've gotten out of this pretty dress, caused me to question what sorts of patterns and fabrics I need to focus on when sewing dresses I expect to use for regular day-in-day-out wear. 

Even though I haven't worn it a ton, I still love this dress I created from Laura Ashley McCalls pattern M5316. Though the pattern is out-of-print, several vendors sell it at an affordable price on the web.
