I'm kinda over dresses at the moment, so these aren't setting me on fire or anything.
I love Trace Reese, but I don't love boob conforming seams. I saw a dress very similar to this recently where the underboob region was white and the upperboob was black. Like a big white arrow pointing up. With just one fabric, you don't see the seam so that's ok, but what's the point? Does it give a better fit?
Candy striper! My god that is some impressive stripe matching. STANDING OVATION!
Same pose, its Swirly Striped Skirt Spring! I like this one better, its more flattering. Now I know that the pattern companies, McCalls especially, paying attention to the blog world. So its nice (and smart commercially) that they are following what the audience wants, ie. shirt dresses, all the shirtdresses! Then again, with that information they do some not so nice stuff too (see below).
Hey, its the
Rigel...
With some faded plaid and floppy boots, this would be perfect for a Nirvana concert. Wait, what year is it?
Stop making patterns for this dress, please!
Shit just got real.
Whoa, that's a turnaround! I'm trying to understand the story here and what I'm getting is that her dog ran away and all she's got left is his leash. She wants to run after him, but her damn legs won't break free from their cage. We all know where the dog went.

1960's Betty Rubble. That collar is too damn big.
My word that's unflattering. Why do you have to pose like this if you're in something 50's inspired. Were all women then walking with pointed toes and horizontal hands?
I was looking into hacking the Archer in something like this, but maybe I'm just a trend hag. Thoughts?
Well isn't someone off to a fabulous day of stripping down to nothing in a filthy public bathroom.
Go ahead and put some thing in the pocket of a crepe de Chine, charmeuse, chiffon, or georgette t-shirt, we'll see how practical it is then.
Have a happy Swirly Striped Skirt Spring!
Funny! And yeah, dresses are getting old again.
