It's here! The Casual Lady top and dress sewing pattern is for sale! My new easy-sew cap sleeve tee & dress pattern is available now in my shop!
I have to say, I LOVE this shirt. It is so comfortable and flattering. And I'm not just saying that because it's a self design. I've seen it on a lot of other testers and it looks great on everyone! You can't say that about a lot of patterns.
And the dress is pretty flattering too. I'm a size 10/12 in ready to wear (this was a Large) and I don't think this is a camera trick. It looks pretty good! And I don't say that a lot about myself.
The neckline is fully faced.
No need to use ribbing.
No sleeves to set in.
Simple. This pattern is quick, easy, and the results don't disappoint!
And here I am. still looking angry but wearing sunglasses.
I'm so excited that some fellow bloggers will be taking this Casual Lady on the road for a little tour to help raise awareness about She's Worth It and the Casual Lady.
Today on the tour: Melly Sews! Head over and see what she made!
Tutally unrelated, but you should check out her handstitching for garment sewing post.

You do look awesome you should be smiling about that! I think I'm going to make it in black, yours is so cute.
Alyssa says
I'm so excited! I've been looking for a pattern just like this - the fabric has been downstairs patiently waiting to be cut into. And, yes, you look beautiful!
Monica says
Haha!!! I often look a bit angry in photos as well, and I always think 'I don't look like that.' Love this entire concept, can't wait to check it all out!

I LOVE this but wish it went up a couple more sizes so I could buy it and make it! How easy would it be to enlarge to a size 22?
Abby S says
It's my lucky day!! I've been dying to finally sew something for MYSELF but hadn't come across the right pattern. Until now! Even sweeter that proceeds are going to a good cause. WooHoOOOooOOo
Andrea @ The Train To Crazy says
Thank you, Abby!

Haha, I'm either looking angry or bemused. Not sure which is worse 🙂 Someone needs to write a tute on how to pose for pictures, I'd gobble that up.
