The sharper-eyed among you may have observed that I had a new gown on in that photo with Justice O’Connor. I did! It’s this one: 

I’m quite consumed with vogue 8728 at this point. For one thing, it’s exceptionally comfortable to wear. The gathers in the bodice as well as cap sleeves enable for a great deal of variety of movement in the shoulders — I never feel as if reaching as much as get hold of something is going to result in a huge “rriiiiiiipppp”. The skirt’s simple to wear, as well (especially as I have — as is my wont — added ginormous pockets). 

Here’s a better view of the bodice:

I understand one of you charming visitors provided me the heads-up on this fabric, most likely two years back now. (I gotten it on eBay, cue odd Al.) Was it you? say thanks to you! (Take credit score in the comments!)

So yes I’ve made a few a lot more of these recently. It’s my new go-to. enjoy for them all this week …
