A few weeks (months?) ago Colette patterns unleashed their newest dress pattern, Laurel. They even made a sew-along contest out of it in which you could win awesome things like a gift certificate for Spoonflower and other online fabric stores I had never heard of... I immediately fell in love with this pattern, because it is so simple and versatile (ánd resembles those nice LaDress ones I cannot afford). I also spotted a cool fabric of Tomotake (see photo, it's the dark blue one on the right), that I eventually bought online and is waiting patiently in the stash. Because I wanted to try it out first on a less precious fabric I made this zipperless, jersey, burgundy version, which is lovely to wear. I adjusted it a little on the sides
and made it a little shorter. Also I made bias tape myself for the first time, which was quite easy. Not sure though if if I can still enter it in the contest...
