I had this dress planned so long ago, about the time I took the Japanese Dress Class at the workroom last summer! I already had my fabric purchased (on etsy, a neat vintage floral) and the pattern (this one here, on the cover), but it took me a while to actually get around to it. My main motivation was that I want some new clothes, and that I should put my skills to good use. You don't know how hard it is to work for Urban Outfitters Inc. and not be able to buy things... moving countries is a big budget drain!
