Last weekend, Mr. Frogs and I decided to take the tadpoles to a movie. I wasn't feeling all that great and the thought of squeezing myself into a pair of cargo shorts was not appealing. My go-to Adidas gym shorts, although comfortable, are not exactly what I want to be seen in when I'm out and about. I found myself thinking: Wouldn't it be great to have another shift dress like the palm tree dress?
I immediately thought of this colorful cotton seersucker that's been patiently waiting in my stash. I pulled it out, and sure enough there was plenty to make this little dress.
Since the pattern was already made and all the fitting issues were already worked out, all I had to do was cut and sew. This time I didn't install a zipper. The dress slips right over my head. I used purchased binding for the armholes and neckline, which saved time and energy also.
I love how it turned out. The fabric is super cute and super comfortable. I can't wait to wear this dress out and about. It will even look cute with a little cardigan over it for work.
Okay, so I have no plans to make this again... but no promises.

you look great I can see why you wanted to make it again
An inspired fabric choice to make an amazing version of this dress! Love it! Especially loved the line, I just cut and sewed!
It looks great, and seersucker is a great choice for this summer!
I agree with all of the above. I love the slight racer cut of the arms. It's a great dress and I'm considering morphing a couple of my patterns into that design. I think it's the kind of dress that is great for summer so having one or two or more is a good thing.
It is very pretty, and you look great in it!
I think it's a great dress. Perfect for summer and you look very cool and polished. Enjoy it. g
Look, you made a shift too! All the cool kids are doing it. Love that fabric, and the style is just great on you. Thanks for visiting and commenting on my blog!
