I have very few summer dresses... not that I’m going anywhere.
This is Simplicity 8872. A great easy pattern, easy to fit and the sleeve is a new favourite.

@Bodgeitandscarper ...they’re the easiest sleeves I’ve ever done. Just a long lozenge shape cut on the bias, folded in half and sewn in flat then sew up the side seams...so quick an easy but give the arms a bit of coverage.

I love the colour on this. The mustard yellow is fantastic.  Nice work.

Lovely! I can't wear ochre shades of yellow, but I think it's such a nice colour. What is your fabric?

Love the fabric and the style. Those little sleeves are a good idea.

As it neared the top of the grade, it went more slowly. However, it still kept saying, "I—think—I—can, I—think—I—can." It reached the top by drawing on bravery and then went on down the grade, congratulating itself by saying, "I thought I could,  I thought I could."
