Recently I gained some weight. A bit more than I was comfortable with, and a bit more than my favorite dresses would allow. In a fit of desperation to have something pretty that fit me, I turned to my favorite pattern, the Washi Dress from made-by-rae.com. All my Washis still fit me and still make me feel pretty, so I whipped up another one real quick. I mean REAL quick. Now that I've made several for myself and others I have the construction down and can get one made in a little over and hour. Its great! If you want a fun, simple, versatile dress pattern to get you started, I highly recommend this one!
