You’ve seen this fox dress before, but here it is again, in more close-up detail:
neck binding:
side zip:
quizzical fox in the pocket:
and the back:
and the matching Tattly:
The fabric is called Fox Frolic (by Aneela Hoey for Moda).
I really liked this fabric when I first made the dress, and I still like the dress now, but I am thinking foxes are getting, as the kids say today, played out. (There’s a LOT of fox stuff on Etsy, which is always the first sign.) Besides, you know I have to declare my allegiance to the hedgehog side …
Oh! And if you’re wondering which of the book-Hundred-Dresses this eleventh dress would be, it’s Matt Smith! Wait, no, I mean, it’s a Dirndl, about which I say: “The Dirndl managed to be simultaneously practical and attractive. It’s close-fitting, but the deep armholes and free skirt allow for easy movement.”
And! Antipodean friends, the book was reviewed in the Sydney Morning Herald today!
darn, I’m culturally bankrupt.
Moda fabric for dresses – how does it rate for weight and creases?

This isn’t really related to that dress, but I thought of you today–see the McCall’s pattern several photos down on this story.
