acorn sundress

On Sunday, Mr. D and I went to a dinner party at the home of some friends in Northern Liberties. After dinner, we drank homemade margaritas (with 195 limes- or what felt like it- squeezed by yours truly) on their roof, looking at the hazy city and listening to the cars zoom by on I-95.

It was really, really hot that day, and since I couldn't go to the party naked, I figured an icy blue sundress with something fun on it would cheer me up. I was still pretty heat-cranky, but was at least I was wearing a new sundress.

This dress was made with the #013 It's-a-Cinch Sundress pattern, my newest Betsy Ross design! I made it in just a few hours, and since there's no zipper, it comes together really fast. The dress fabric is by Amy Butler ("Honeycomb" in aqua), and the acorn was appliqued out of scraps.
