This is another Simplicity 5723 (I posted it earlier, with terrible pictures):
Despite really liking 1) this pattern and 2) green denim I’ve been a bit “meh” on this dress. Although one of the things I like about sewing with denim is how it whitens at the edges with wear:
Here’s the zip, which is really not good. I should re-do it, but I’d have to redo the seam on the other side to get the ease to fix it, and … well, it hasn’t made the top of the to-do list yet. (It hasn’t actually gotten ON the to-do list yet.)
My favorite part of this dress is the camouflage pocket linings:
I was going to make camo bias tape for the sleeve finishing as well, but, um, I didn’t.
Here’s the back view, which, in line with the rest of the kind of lick-and-a-promise I gave this dress, didn’t get settled on the dress form properly.
I can’t believe we’re this far into the the hundred dresses posts … getting close to halfway! And thanks to you all, The Hundred Dresses book is doing nicely, too — some very kind reviews on Amazon and Goodreads.
Good base for just about every colour of shoes and watches and cardigans you have.

well….it sort of makes me think of a waitress dress in a Tennessee Williams play.
