There’s something about a vacation that makes me decide to sew something at the last minute… The week before our beach vacation at the end of August, I decided that a new maxi dress was a necessity, haha!
On the Wednesday before our trip, I cut out and sewed a test version of the pattern to check the fit. By the end of Thursday, I’d sewn everything but the hem on the actual dress. On Friday night, I added the hem, and we left for the beach on Saturday morning!
It was a wonderful combination of what I had in my stash. I’d downloaded the Manassa maxi dress from Sew News in May of 2020, and I had this amazing galaxy print cotton spandex jersey knit from LA Finch Fabrics from an end-of-bolt sale back in December of 2019. A perfect match!
I love everything about this dress, and it was so fun to wear!
