Dress for Sydney

We had our very exciting trip to Sydney on the weekend and it was everything I wanted it to be and more.  On saturday we had corporate lunch for Mr Daddy's work, at the wonderful restaurant Sails on Lavender Bay.

The problem with these work functions for me is what to wear??  I didn't want to buy something that I would probably only wear once and all my usual Mummy outfits don't make the grade.  So time to make something.  I got this brilliant Spotty Spotlight fabric a few months back and thought it might be just the ticket coupled with a New Look pattern.

My zip phobia got the better of my and my lovely friend Naomi put it in for me.  Thanks Naomi.  I think I also made it too big and it could have been a size down.   Sizing confuses me every time, I followed the measurements correctly... I need a sizing class.

* Note that seductive word EASY on the packet, it gets me every time.
