Stash Busting Saturday

 I have looked for a wrap dress for quite a while and finally found this pattern, Simplicity 1653.
 I used some material in the stash, a polyester knit blend in no shine black.  (I do not like shiny colors on me!)
 It fits comfortably, though I did have to experiment with the sizing AGAIN!  I cut it out larger and then made alterations as it was constructed!  Not for a novice sewist.
I will be wearing it today to a funeral.   I will certainly be buying more fabric to make a dress in olive green-my favorite clothing color!
