Simple linen dress

These warm Summer days need cool, breezy clothes made with light, natural fabrics. This linen from Tessuti (now sold out) was one of my Christmas presents to myself (no one else in this house buys me anything, but at least this way, I always get what I want).You may recognise it from Rachel's blog. I took her lead and ordered enough for a top too.
As I've mentioned before, I love the fit and style of my drafted high neck tank, so it seemed like a good idea to lengthen it to a dress.
There isn't too much to say about this, except that I love it. I wore it out dinner a few nights ago and managed to completely gorge myself without any discomfort from tight clothes :)
I hope you are having fun this Summer (or Winter). I just love hanging out with the kids and making plans day to day.

I have more to show - so much time, so much sewing!

    This is fabulous! I adore the snowballs ;) Did you line the dress? I'm trying to decide which way to go with mine - such gorgeous fabric & you've showcased it beautifully.

    You got gold Saltwater sandals! Love mine :) and more importantly they look fabulous with that very breezy looking shift. And better still it allows a food baby. Hurrah!

    Gorgeous! I love linen but hate ironing so tend to stare clear of it. The print is lovely and I do like the deep armholes.
