Liberty Print Smock Dress (TV Ted)

This is the fourth time that I've used Machiko Kayaki's dress patterns.
I like the simplicity of her designs but, as there are no models in her books wearing the final garments, it is difficult to judge how they will come out.
The size 9 dress I made was initially too wide and baggy, just like a bad 'sack' dress. So I decided to make it smaller, 4cm in width and 28cm off its length.
I made a pair of knickers from the remnants.

Liberty print dress (Gleeson)

I made a summer dress for myself with my favourite Liberty print of this season.
The pattern is from 'home couture' by Machiko Kayaki.
