this dress is "da bombe"

I made this reversible dress and I am so pleased with it!  I'm always looking to improve the way I make something to be more smooth and well-formed, and to that end I tried tucking all the seams inside two reversible layers of linen.  And then, of course, there was a grand opportunity to play with color, which I could not resist.  The unexpected pleasure of it is the weight that the two layers have.  It is like one of those heavy vests they have kids wear to calm them down, and it works on me, too.  Plus the dance potential is great.  I'm definitely going to make more of these, and can't wait to mix up the colors.
