Some selfish sewing - the California Dress for ME!

So, this is the worst thing I do, pose for pictures... all in my winter white skin and all!!! But I've tested the California Dress, and I love it - so I think I need to show it to you!

Kymy from Everything Your Momma Made & More has made a grown up version of the California Dress I tested for my daughter.
 And even though I hate looking at pictures of myself, blah, I really love this dress. It's a very quick sew and it has so, so many versions to it: reversible (not mine as a high low version), two halter necks, two scoop necks, knits, woven, five different lengths - you can try and do the math... multitudes of variations! I can think of at least 20 ways to make and wear this dress. Oh, wait - you can also put the binding as a contrast as I did, or hidden on the inside. I give up - too many different versions for me to figure out how many.

Kymy has also included a maternity version and a nursing version!
 I chose to make the high-low version, because all the dresses I see in stores this season are high-lows. And I decided to make the dress a little different, and use different colors for the front and back.
 I love how playful and summery it looks. And it is super comfy!
The pattern will be released real soon! And if you need a quick sew for summer, this is it!

Thank you Kymy, for letting me test!
