My patchwork dress is finished! My main goal to use parts and pieces to their full advantage worked out well. I harvested sections of the blue man's hawaiian shirt so they were at the bottom and avoided sewing a hem (timesaver). I used the panel of another man's shirt that included the pocket so I have a side pocket (timesaver). I carefully took out the sleeves and replaced them with sleeves from another shirt (timesaver). I decided to leave the original collar because it supports scarves and necklaces better than no collar. I also decided not to limit my choices by attaching the scarf as a neckline finish.
It's a roomy boxy silhouette. I added side loops for an empire waistline belt. Or, I can leave the dress full. Either way it's comfortable and easy to wear.
I like this scarf with the dress best. It pulls the colors up into the neck area. Both looks are super! Happy with the Dress!
