The good news is it was easy to sew and it has pockets. The bad news is that it looks like grandma's housedress. I think the problem might be the fabric. I made this muslin for Simplicity 2004 in more of that thrift store cotton I got on the cheap. It went together easily but all I can see is grandma's housedress.
The pattern envelope shows the dress with a belt and that does help a bit.
I'm thinking it might look sharp in a navy/white striped seersucker (see swatch pinned to the yoke) but I'm still on the fence. Do I go ahead and cut in to the good fabric or hold off for a better pattern? Comments are welcomed.

A belt and a cardi and you're good to go! I'd like to see it in the seersucker. At home you can shed the cardi and lose the belt and no one needs to know that you love lounging in your multi-purpose housedress! ;)
