60s floral maxi

I bought this fabric several years ago from Remnant Kings - and I've had it so long I can't remember whether I bought it in Glasgow or Edinburgh.  Sadly, I see that Remnant Kings closed down earlier this year.  Anyway... it stayed in my stash while I dithered about what to make with it.  In the end, I decided on a maxi.  This is a pattern combo I've made before - it's a modified bodice from Simplicity 2886 - I altered the neckline at the back to not be full height (much less faff for zipping up) and the skirt is from Simplicity 1801.  However, for this dress I added pockets since this fabric was wide enough to allow for that.


I really love this dress and I'm sure it'll get plenty of wear all year round - with a thin jumper underneath in the winter and on its own when the weather warms up.
