Tonight I began cutting out my pattern. It’s a simple black wool dress with short sleeves that is meant as a base layer for other sweaters to be put on top of it. I added some length so the dress should hit me below the knee. you can see where the dress ended and the added fabric to the bottom of the fabric that I cut.

Hopefully this will make a nice simple modern dress to replace the one I had before. I’m contemplating adding a gore into the back of the skirt to add some extra swish and flow to the piece.
