Croquet Dress

Oliver + S Croquet Dress by nest full of eggs
 Happy 4th of July!

I have had this Oliver + S Croquet Dress paper sewing pattern for I don't know how long, at least over a year.

 It's the pattern for July for Flip This Pattern at Frances Suzanne.

 That was just the motivation I needed to finally sew one up!

 Project details:
Pattern: Oliver + S Croquet Dress (rating of 2 out of 4 scissors)
Size: 6 with size 7 skirt length
Fabrics: red, white, and blue plaid seersucker, chambray
Notions: red button from my stash, instead of a thread loop I grabbed some red & white gingham ribbon from my stash to use as a button loop

I really liked how this dress was constructed, it came together rather nicely. And the 2 out of 4 scissor rating is spot on. I'm pleased with the color combination and the fabric combination. You know, this was the first time I had ever sewn with seersucker. Why have I never sewn with seersucker before? Anyway, I will definitely sew with seersucker again in the near future.

Enjoy the 4th of July fireworks!
