I don’t think I ever posted this one, did I?
I made it for XOXO in Portland, around the same time as this dress. The bodice is Simplicity 1577 with the collar altered to be Peter Pan, the skirt is the skirt from Butterick 8500 (as seen here). The fabric is from Superbuzzy — this particular colorway is sold out, but they have a couple others.
Here’s a closer look at the bodice:
And the side zip:
And the collar:
And the back:
It’s a little cutesy for someone of my advanced (and still advancing) age, but … [insert don’t-care-face here]. It’s definitely a fun dress, though. I wore it with a red cardigan and red Keds, and with the intention of eating lots of ice cream.

Look at that invisible zipper application! Perfect! And the collar kicks butt, too. All kinds of fun and technical triumph in this dress. Bravo.

Crazy Cat Lady Dress, complete with crazy cats – I love it.
I have forgotten the zip ratings, but that gets an A, surely!

ITA. My first thought looking at the 3rd picture was, “Wow, look at that zipper. That’s an A.”

I don’t understand the whole ‘you’re too old to do that’ thing. Surely the older you get the less you should care about meaningless niceties and fitting in? That’s how it seems to work for all the fun people.

That’s why I accessorize this with my “don’t care” face. 🙂

Agree with the others about that A+ zipper!

Yeah…so hard to find the zipper fully hidden these days. And I don’t like the exposed zipper as promoted by V. Beckham. This is much classier.
