anthropologie "Chocolate Chip" dress
I was surfing around the internet looking at fabric one day and came across a cream/brown polka dot cotton lawn from denverfabrics. (close up pic further down).
I decided to use S2176 because the shape was very close to the anthro dress.
S2176
This pattern came together very easily. I did not have to make any alterations at all for fit--I just love it when that happens. Even though the pattern does not call for a lining, I fully lined it because I really don't like slips The lining is just a basic ecru colored polyester lining. I did a narrow hem on the bottom. I love the feel of cotton lawn, but I don't like the wrinkly effect. However, you go with what you can find. The brown fabric used on the shoulder straps and bodice band is a polyester from my stash.

This was just from sitting down for a few minutes.

Definitely a cute dress! And the shoes are fantastic too, just the right touch with a brown and cream dress.
The dress is lovely. I really like the outfit that you wore to work. I wish someone would dress like you at my school - most people wear the staff shirt.
Cute dress and I love the minty green paired with it.
Oh pretty! It's nice alone and the accessories are the perfect contrast.
First - the dress is sooooo cute. I love the color combo. You find such great inspiration pieces from Anthropologie.
Second - some new blogger glitch that when you add writing after you've inserted a picture and the white highlight shows up. I go to the HTML section and look for a string that says "background highlight white" or something like that and I remove it. Voila the white background goes away.
Lovely dress and styling! But I'm even happier to see your shoes!!! I just discovered this brand while surfing Amazon last month. I would like to know if they are more narrow than wide. I'm a 6.5 wide and I can get away with B/N in some brands but prefer Wide when I can get it. Thanks in advance for any info you can provide me with.
Your dress is soooo pretty!
This dress is so cute! I think I like your version more than the Anthro version. I am a it jealous of all your shoes! THose Seychelles are fantastic. I made this dress up last summer in a cream linen. It does go together so quickly. :]
