Hi

I bought some Chambray a few months ago as I love the material....love the current trend of the off the shoulder designs...

soooo....drew a pattern from a top I have, extended it to make a dress, added some shirring to the waist, a touch of Broderie anglaise and voila.....sooo pleased with it....just need the weather to stay warm now  :flower:

Very pretty. I like the use of the decorative stitching above the broderie anglais. You should get some wear out of it this week, if the forecast is correct.
