It is so lovely of you to sew you mother dresses. ANd it is even nicer she loves them and makes good use of them. I love the fabric design you are using for the new one, as it has the perfect summer colors for me: soft pastels. But I remember you writing, you are afraid to sew others garments??! I would get an heart attack cutting a pattern and sewing something without a pattern which is tested and explained :-DDDD In sewing I lack every bit of improvisation will and talent. Your dress is amazing and you did it completely by yourself without a pattern, I am amazed 😮😮😮
By the way did you see the new H&M advertisement? My mother brought it to my attention. They showed several super wide dresses with and without sleeves some with a ruffle added at the hem and sometimes belted. These wide and long dresses seem to be the piece. I guess the most complicated part would be the sleeves, but the rest.... I am pondering to try to sewn one (means for me searching such a pattern). I thought perhaps you have fun to try such a dress, if you have more of these floral fabrics.
