After I came across this picture, I started wanting to play with print - and big polka dots in particular. The biggest (cotton) dots I managed to find are 4cm....
Here my (very) wearable muslin. The dotted side could be 1" longer and I managed to make the mirror image of what I wanted to make. The floral fabric is a cotton sateen I found at the Hawker's Bazaar.

The 'proper' dress is cut, with the dotted part on the correct side and a bit longer. This one will become my 'go to the pool/beach dress'
I see a few versions of this coming, still have some leftover black and white stripes as well as dots and prints.
