Fall Florals

Last spring I went hunting for fabric to re-upholster a chair (see story below), and found this great poly-cotton blend floral print. It was too "girly" for a chair that my husband would approve, but at 3$/metre I couldn't leave it on the rack.

I cut out the simple modern dress pattern months ago and decided to piece it together last night... in between watching the Women's Tennis US Open Finals.
The fabric is soft, warm, drapes nicely and has stretch - so it's pretty much the comfiest dress I've ever made. My whole office loves it!
I think it'll be a nice fall piece to add to my collection..
