V-neck A-Line Knee Length Belted Magenta Dress

This is my first dress of my summer goal of 6 fun new dresses.  I didn't have to change much other than the sleeves.  The sleeve that came with the pattern was rather matronly so I took about two inches off the sleeve hem.


This dress is inspired by McCall's 3546 A.  I bought this pattern at JoAnne's when it was on their $1 Pattern Sale.

I went with a funky colored zipper to be cool and stuff.

And then went with a matching solid print along the neckline for a fun POP of color!

See now?  That's what I did along the v-neck.

I found the fabric at the haute fashion boutique: Hobby Lobby.  Ok, I live in Oklahoma.  Not a lot of options, we don't have a Fashion Ave in Bixby, OK.

It's been a fun dress to wear to church and to a fancy birthday lunch in Dallas at the American Girl Store with my daughter.

Fabric: Hobby Lobby
Pattern: McCall 3546 option A
Belt: Amazon
Shoes: Nude Wedges from Walmart (I get complemented on these Walmart Specials every time I wear them)
Sunglasses:  Rayban
