The dress is made from a embroidered cotton from my stash and the skirt is a linen blend.I used the top from this Simplicity pattern and the bottom from this Vogue pattern.
I added lace between the bodice and skirt which hides the elastic.Both dress originally feature a back zipper.I eliminated this by making the skirt a little bigger,creating gathers.The added elastic allows it to pull in closer to the body.It is so comfortable.The skirt is a TNT.I made the one shown in yellow on the pattern package.
Its raining again today so I guess I'll spend more time in the sewing room.
I'm getting real nervous about finishing the swap.I'm really far behind.Six down,5 pieces to go.

I love the floral dress! Your SWAP is one of the best I've seen cant wait for the whole collection.
Lisa - take it from someone who's been there - you can do it! Can't wait to see all of your finished pieces together!
I think you've got the best SWAP colors I've seen so far. Beautiful.
Lisa, it looks great! I can't wait to see the finished swap. I especially love your morphed dress. It's supercool and looks fabu on you.
Saw you on Ebony Elite so I'm popping in to say hello! I love how prolific you are with your sewing. I am also a dollmaker, sewer and knitter. I have four partially completed dolls sitting butt naked on my dresser patiently waiting to be clothed and named and sent off to good homes.
Your dress looks very lovely!!!
Lisa, I love your dress and skirt. You do such good work! I believe you will be able to finish your swap! I finally checked my blog (haven't been blogging since I changed jobs and went to New York on vacation). I'D LOVE TO DO LUNCH! Maybe on a Saturday after a Smiley's stop (LOL)!
Your pieces look fantastic!
Hi Lisa, came across your site via Ebony Elite... and love your projects. I gawked at you lucky find of presser feets for a buck... recently ordered several pieces from Sears at a whopping $80, and thereafter the machine when kaput...lol

I love your alterations to the dress. The dress and the skirt look great on you. You have a fantastic choice of fabric. Great combinations!
