Mustard Maize Lily Linen Dress
I was excited to receive Anna’s email and photos recently:
‘I finished my Lily Linen Dress in Mustard Maize this morning and wore it to a lunchtime family function – nothing like a deadline to spur you on! I’m thrilled with my dress and received loads of compliments at the luncheon. It was my first time working with linen and it was a dream to sew. Although my bust size suggested otherwise, I cut out the small as I had found this to be the best fit for me in the Gabby Dress – it was perfect for the Lily too. The pattern was a stretch for my confident beginner sewing skills, but the instructions were clear and it came together without incident. The pockets took me a while to nut out (ie. it took numerous readings and re-readings of the instruction and lots of peering at the instructions). I’m so glad I persisted (I almost left them off) as they really make the dress. I’m feeling very pleased with myself!’
Stunning work Anna! Thank you for the feedback and pics.

I like to see a drawing of a pattern I am thinking of buying, but I can't find one for this dress. Is there one? You know the sort of thing that you get on pattern packets, just an outline drawing.
