My favourite dress. I love a sheath dress, to me glamour is about simplicity - I'm with Coco Chanel on this one. This pattern is New Look 6653 and it's the holy grail of dresses. I love it. I've made it twice already. I've made it in purple plaid - shown here under construction - I've worn this a lot this winter. The first time in this Royal Doulton print (bottom) - which is perfect for summer. I wore it for a summer birthday party - strawberries and cream.
