Seamwork Skipper
I have been hording this retro floral jersey knit fabric from Fabric Mart for years. I just love a good retro print that is reminiscent of the 60s or 70s.
The Skipper dress is a cocoon style silhouette, so I'm not overly concerned about the fit, since it should be bagggy. I added inseam pockets, but I now think a kangaroo pocket would have worked much better on this dress. The other thing I'm not loving is the size of the hood. I get hoodies as gifts all the time from family and from work, so I know how I like my hoods to fit and this on is just way too big. It sort of flops into my face when I wear it. So I would swap it out for another hood, but I have yet to find one that I'm happy with, so finding the perfect hood is going to be a low-key goal of mine now.
Overall, this dress is a solid choice for lounging around the house or going out to run errands, but I don't think I would wear it to a party or the office -- although during this time, neither of those things are even a consideration. 😁
