an old pattern and silk

I am going to say the hardest thing about having my computer down is that the pictures I want to use for blog posts are on that computer.  It makes it hard.

I did go out this weekend and spoil myself with the purchase of silk.   I pulled out an old pattern to start making some simple dresses for summer.  The pattern is over 25 years old.  Vintage Donna Karan Vogue.  I wanted something that was silk, a shift or chemise style, and that I could throw into a backpack at a moments notice.  Maybe I should be an adult here and say bag but, in reality, it would be a backpack.  Add sandals or stockings and heels and I can go to any occasion.  If I put a skirt over it, I have a lovely top.

I cut out the right size but I am hoping the pattern still fits.  It has been a few years.  I have extra fabric if I need to do some modifications.  Two pieces of fabric.  Four seams.  One placket.  Four hems.  That is all there is to it.  If only every dress was this easy!
