If you hadn't already noticed, my dress is orange! One of my favourite colours and it seems appropriate for this month as we have already had some very hot weather here in the UK.
I didn't really have a plan for this dress and pretty much made it up as I went along (as is evidently obvious from looking at the photo!).
The dress is made up of three layers. Some white felt, old book page, and some lovely orange fabric. I machine stitched all the layers together, folding back some of the fabric in places, just randomly and machine top stitched to finish it off. A bit plain compared to some of my earlier dresses, but it's a dress for our hot summer (while it lasts!)
Here it is with some of the other dresses in the wardrobe I made, further details about which are here.

I love it, Sherry; orange is my favourite colour too. It's like you're having your own little Project Runway going on there, and I must say your collection look great!
So you're finished with your copy of Emma and repurposing the pages?.-)
Gorgeous summery sheer creation Sherry! Your dress is lovely...they all look so pretty hanging in the wardrobe!

Wow Sherry. This dress is HOT! It's really quite a clever combination of materials, and the orange sheer fabric on top is what takes it over the top. It's great to see all of them hanging in your wardrobe, too.
oh its very floaty and summery Sherry, perfect ! i love it!!
Beautiful and I love that yummy shade of orange. I can feel that simmer breeze already!

wonderful job... love the sheerness of your orange fabric, that should help in the hot weather... lol
Stunning !!!
A beautiful orange dress Sherry!
The ones we make up as we go along are often the best because we can never have the disappointment of thinking well that doesn't look like the dress I imagined or planned.
Your dresses look so good together in your wardrobe, just lovely, what a fabulous idea of Margaret's.
