Ellie & Mac Be Dreamy Dress

It's Wacky Wednesday at Ellie & Mac! This week I'm sharing with you the Be Dreamy Dress. I know you've seen me mention my dislike for dresses, but I do love maxi dresses. I just don't like showing my legs.

The Be Dreamy Dress has an optional high-low hemline and two sleeve flounce lengths. I made the regular hemline and used the shorter sleeve flounce.

My fabric is an interlock twist yarn (ITY) knit that I bought from Super Textiles in the Dallas Fabric District. I was drawn to the bold, large scale border print. However, I did not buy enough!

I did not have enough fabric to fussy cut the back skirt piece. I ended up cutting my back skirt out a bit differently and gathered it at the waist. I really love how it came out and think I'll make my next one in a similar manner.

The Be Dreamy Dress also includes optional pockets, but I opted to leave them out. I love the drape of the flounce sleeves and think I will try the longer length on my next dress.

I love the empire waist - it's very flattering. My ITY did not have any vertical stretch and my neckline ended up quite high, but I love it. The photos in the listing for the Be Dreamy Dress show a lower neckline.

I feel beautiful in my Be Dreamy Dress and think the fussy cutting of my fabric is what really made this dress perfect for me. I just wish the back of my dress could have been as beautiful as the front.

The Be Dreamy Dress is on sale for only $1 through May 15th. See all the Wacky Wednesday Sale patterns HERE! All other patterns are currently on sale for 50% off - no code needed.
