A Blue Dress for Summer! : Vogue 9253
             A very flattering dress for summer. Yes, this one has been done before, but I must chime in. This is such a well designed pattern! I made this with a lovely blue cotton batik.      First, I raised the neckline like 5". I lowered the waist 1" and added 1" to the hem at the bottom.         I love the top stitching, it really makes the dress polished.           And the tie belt is sewn into the zipper.                              Tip: Follow ADLynn on her Youtube video to raise the neckline for everyday wear. She does a great job!  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kymTM9rdH5g
