My patterns arrived today, including the one I have earmarked my foliage fabric for. The fabric is a lovely smooth cotton poplin (already laundered, of course!) and just the thing for the Itch to Stitch Recoleta dress. I will prep the pattern over the weekend and check for fit - I haven't used this brand before, so I need to find a bit of patience before putting scissors to cloth. Hopefully it won't be too long.
As a side note, the Itch to Stitch patterns have a fabulous range of sizes and cup sizes. This one, the Recoleta dress, goes from their size 00 to 20 (for example, their size 12 is waist 35" and hip 42 3/4", with bust of 39 3/4" for the A cup up to 43 3/4" for the DD option. I will measure the pattern pieces to see how true they are to the finished garment sizes, but it's nice to see such a good range included as standard.
Here's a pic of my fabric: green and beige foliage on a dark navy background.
