Hope you have a Happy & Healthy New Year! I finished off the year being able to sew up 3 dresses! I don't seem to have much free time to indulge in sewing. But I try to fit it in when I can.
We had a few cold days here in Florida and I don't own many dresses that are warm. The Designer Stitch Dita dress caught my eye.

I made a size 6-D cup muslin version from a cranberry ponte knit. Tapering to a size 10 at the hips. I made the midi length. ' Overall the pattern was easy to sew up, with lots of matching seams. The sleeve head gave me a little pause and I had to quit for the night & come back the next day fresh to figure it out. I liked the dress and only had to make a few minor adjustments. I removed 1/4" from front princess seam and added 1/4" to the skirt seam allowances.

I have an idea for another version of the Dita dress with a fuller skirt and shorter sleeves.
Until next time.....
