Mix & Match dress

Ta da! Finally, a picture of the mentioned Mix & Match dress I mentioned in a previous post. This dress is from a pattern published in the Spring issue of Stitch magazine, by Interweave. You can download a FREE copy of the full-size pattern (and several others) from their website right now at www.interweavestitch.com. I made the dress from bright pink jersey knit fabric I had in my stash and used plain black for the sleeves and the contrasting band in the front.

I made a few alterations to the pattern though. As the dress is very lose I added ties. This is the back view with the ties. I also used the ruffle neckline methods as posted by both Kate at http://curiositys.wordpress.com and Rae at http://madebyrae.blogspot.com recently during Rae's Spring Top Week. It came out lovely and was so easy to do!
