A short and sweet post to bring you The E Dress – the Easter dress, made during my Easter holidays from school. It’s another Avid Seamstress Day Dress, (my second of three) and for this version I treated myself to some beautiful Liberty lawn courtesy of Kat’s Fabrics. I think I paid around £35 for just over 3m.
I followed the pattern just as last time, except I added about 2.5inches to the length. I still included pockets. One mistake I made was not to flip the pattern piece for the sleeves, meaning the snowdrops are actually upside down on them – but I don’t think it’s overly noticeable.
You’ll notice for this post I did something I *very* rarely do – got my legs out! I hardly ever have bare legs, especially in the UK. However, it was a beautifully sunny day, so I took the plunge whilst out for a dog walk. Please excuse the glare on your screens.
Well another lovely dress.as Brucie would say didn’t. you do well.have you had to buy extra Wardrobes to hang all those pretty dresses in.

There’s no glare here! I don’t have the best legs but get them out regardless! This style looks lovely on you, especially in the Liberty print, perfect for this lovely weather we’re having 😎

Thanks Ali – it’s school today so my legs are back to being hidden beneath black tights. I loved that print for a while before it came up on eBay 😊

I bared my legs for the first time this week, too, but it won’t take long to get a bit of colour on them if we all persist. I find 3/4 length trousers are a good starting point:)

I think you’re right – getting a bit of early spring sun is key to presentable legs for the rest of the summer 😊

Legs? Oh yes, I think I have some, somewhere. This is my favourite version of the three. Looks like a great pattern – glad you’ve found a TNT.
