A dress for summer

If we ever do get a summer I now have a super dress to wear.
I used the same pattern as the one I made for Jessica last year
The material is a linen mix Tencel which has a lovely feel and drape without the terrible creasing of pure linen.
The colour is a golden mustard not as bright as a yellow a little bit more muted
If I make this again I will change the pocket placing
 My arms are not quite as long as the pattern suggests!
This is an easy make with a feature front bodice V cut on the bias. The only tricky part is all the top stitching and getting the V to live up perfectly 
Not difficult but needs patience 
The oversized pocket has a loose pleated base and decorative button
