Another Version of McCalls 6713

Wow!  Where have I been?  Nowhere really.  I've been getting settled into a new routine with a new job in a new industry.  The only constant has been that I'm still admin.  Admin doesn't change based on who you are supporting.  That being said - there is a lot to learn at my new job.  We are head down busy all day long.  Also - I feel a bit like a dog who's just seen a squirrel.  I'll be in the middle of something and get a new urgent request - Squirrel!  And I'm off on a new task.  Don't get me wrong - I'm loving it! 

I was very worried about my wardrobe going in and I'm learning I didn't need to be.  I have lots of clothes and just about everything works. 

 My third version of McCalls 6713 and I still like this dress.  This is a very fluid knit that I bought many years ago.  It is a tiny floral with darker pinks and grey in it.  The pattern has enough of a sleeve that I don't have to wear a cardigan all day (no sleeveless policy) - pale pink or grey.  I did not add the drape to this version and the skirt isn't as full as the polka dot dress - different fabric, different results. 

Also - I did not wear pink keds all day.  I wore my grey pumps, I just didn't feel like changing my shoes when I had JB's attention and he was willing to take photos.  


This dress is fun, feminine and easy to wear.  I feel pretty and sassy when I wear it. 

Looking at the photos - I need to work on doing my face a bit better.  I have been putting make up on every single day since changing jobs and making an effort to fix my flat and lifeless hair.  When these photos were taken - my hair was way past due for a cut and color (which has now happened).

There has been more sewing since this dress was made.  However, we finally have Spring in Seattle and I want to sit outside and knit or read rather than be inside sewing.

Happy June everyone.  Hopefully - I'll be more present in the space - I have missed you all.  g
