Y'all, I'm READY for Spring. Our Winter wasn't exceptionally terrible, but I'm ready for some pretty days and outside time. We've had a few sneaky days mixed in lately that had wonderful weather, and they made me all the more ready!
So... I'm on to short sleeve tees for the boys, new tops for my mom, sister, and me, and of course, new dresses. I kind of love wearing dresses, especially in the Spring and Summer when I won't get cold!

When I saw this fabric, now available at Amelia Lane Designs, I knew immediately what it needed to be. Like I think I had the idea for this dress within about ten minutes of seeing it on a computer screen. Sometimes you just know, right? 😉
The Spellbound Dress:
This was my first (and second 😉) time using this pattern. I have contemplated getting it before, but I never had a plan to sew it, so I decided to hold off so I wouldn't have another PDF pattern just waiting forever to be sewn... but I've always liked the pattern. So, after seeing the fabric, and knowing I had a definite plan for the pattern, I went ahead and purchased it. And I'm really glad I did, because after making my first one, I want more. 😍
The pattern has a few options including neckline options, sleeve options, and lengths. It can be made using the high neckline or the scooped neckline. You can choose cap sleeves, sleeveless, or flutter sleeves. Then you can choose your length - short, knee, midi, or maxi length.
The bodice is semi-fitted, but then flares out to a wide A-line shape.
The Fabric:
As I mentioned, I used some brushed poly fabric from Amelia Lane Designs. After a month of stocking no florals, this time, they stocked ALL THE FLORALS! They have some really beautiful single and double brushed poly floral options! I'm so excited about them. 🙂
This one is so gorgeous. It has pink and lavender tones in the flowers. My two items totally DON'T go together, but the colors of this look so beautiful with the lavender pointelle that I used for my Like a Boss Batwing Top.
I'm almost thinking I should grab some more lavender pointelle to make a cardigan to put with this dress!
My Dress:
For my dress, I sewed an Australian Size 10 based on my measurements. I chose the high neckline. My dress is knee length. I love the fit of the dress. It fits so well and comfortably. I think the style is very flattering as well. I chose the cap sleeves. This is very easy to sew. It sews just like a tank or dolman.
So head on over to the Amelia Lane Designs website and check out the gorgeous florals now available on sale in the NEW ARRIVALS section!
And I definitely recommend checking out this pattern for your spring/summer wardrobes! 🙂
