I'm a Model!

Recently, Lauren from Wearing History Patterns asked if I'd be willing to model for a new pattern release - the words were barely out of her mouth before I said YES! Of course I would - playing dress up is so much fun!

Palisades 1940's wrap dress pattern - available in multisize packs

This cute little wrap dress pattern is the newest addition to the Wearing History pattern line. The neat thing about it is how easy it is to sew - no sleeves, and because it wraps and ties, there are no buttons or zippers to deal with - perfect for a new sewist! And I want to mention that even though it has a low back, I'm wearing a normal bra - it crossed right above my braline, so there are no special undies required.

If you're a swing dancer and want to try making this pattern, I suggest adding a few hooks and eyes at the wrap opening, so that the opening stays shut!

And yes, those are my super comfy Aris Allen wedges.

We went to a local marina with our husbands in tow to shoot the photos - I think I'm making funny faces at them in most of the pictures, probably not the best idea. :)

Can't imagine why this one isn't the pattern cover. Hmm...

I'm no Bernie Dexter, but it sure was fun! :)
