purple linen loveliness

When Joann's had linen on a very good sale a while back, I picked up four or five pieces of linen for dresses.  Since then, there have been shirts and quilts that I taken precedence.  After I got the Pixie quilt finished, I made myself a dress out of the purple piece.

It does not really take me that long to put a dress together anymore.  At least for the ones I like.  Even if I were to make a class sheath for business, most dresses take only a couple of hours.  This one became even more simple because I have really liked the weekend dress I modeled after a picture I saw of a French dress.  The one that cost me less the $10 to make that the were selling for $200 Euros.  But this way, the arm length is what I want and so is the skirt length.  

This turned out to be so comfortable.  I also really like the length.

Too my toes!  If I put my boots on, I do like someone who should be on the frontier.  Not a bad thing and it makes me smile.  Smiles are good.

I love the color of this linen, but even more than that, it goes to your toes. I love long skirts and dresses like that, so easy to be modest and comfortable, or tuck your feet inside for warming. I love the weekend style too.
