Sometimes you find a pattern that you'll pull out again and again. That is the case with this pattern. I love wearing dresses. I feel so pretty and feminine. Putting on a dress can put me in a better mood sometimes. So I was more than excited to test the expansion of the Asta Dress. **Disclosure: I have included my affiliate link to the pattern I used for this post.

Once I made the sleeveless version and another time, I made a sleeved version. I've worn both of them several times.  So I already knew I liked the pattern, and was thrilled to try some of the new options!  Here is my new Wardrobe by Me Asta Dress . The pattern: The pattern is drafted for knit fabrics. It makes a beautiful dress with a few options you can choose from. You can make your dress sleeveless, or chose rom...

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! **Disclosure: I have included my affiliate link to the pattern I used for this post.

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 (a...

Last year, I saw this fabric, and fell in love. I bought it and have had it folded on a shelf for close to a year.  Recently, when Amelia Lane Designs stocked this one, I got so excited because it was JUST like my beautiful hoarded gold/brown medallion fabric, but had more blue/grey tones. I loved it just as much. I made a dress from it. See that dress here. **Disclosure: I have included my affiliate link to the pattern I used for this post.

I looked at my fabric stash and eventually chose to cut into this one. The Fabric: The fabric is a double brushed poly (DBP) fabric I got from Amelia Lane Designs . It is so soft, and perfect for making tops and dresses. This fabric is no longer available, but...

Y'all.... this dress. I just wish it was the right time of year here in the U.S. for me to LIVE in this dress. I love it oh so much!  **Disclosure: This blog post contains my affiliate link to the pattern I tested.

And, I do. 😉 I originally planned to make two - one of the fitted and one fit and flare. But I somehow have two fit and flare dresses and am still planning to make the fitted one!  It is such a classic style! I want several for every day next summer! 💓 The Pattern : As you've probably gathered, there are two big options for this dress- the fitted or the fit and flare. The fitted version can be made with a straight hem or with a flounce hem.The fit and flare has multiple length options- everything...
