Okay so the pattern was burda 6773 and the fabric was from abakhans.
The pattern was for a basic shift dress but I changed things up by adding ties at the sides so I cold clinch the waist.
Funnily enough my Nan was telling me she made a shift dress like this in nearly the same colour when she was younger. Sadly here's didn't have flamingos on it but its still a funny coincidence.
I'm super pleased with how it turned out and I think I might try and wear it a bit more next summer. I wasn't convinced that it was really my colour but everyone else seems to think it suits me.
Looking at the pictures I think I prefer the knot at the back so it creates a smoother shape in the front? What do you think?

Christmas madness is upon us, we are schedualing people in left right and center this year becasue everyone seems to have crazy rotas and a few people are working over christmas. Even poor rikki is having to go in on boxing day!
Im tired and trying desperately to get the house tidy in time for the big mans arrival on the 25th
Lil man is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO EXCITED! Whilst last year he understood what was happening this year he REALLY understands [Cue some awkward questions "if Santa brings presents why are you buying that for [insert name here]"
Anyway!
Much Love
Frankie
P.S call me crazy but this might just be the year I make us a gingerbread house! [and by gingerbread house I mean biscuit house because neither of the boys like ginger]
