What can be better than a black and white daisy block print top? I’ll tell you, a black and white daisy block print dress thats what! Fabric from Merchant & Mills. I just love this fabric so much I had to have a dress in it. I think I bought 3 meters of it with the intention of making two short sleeves tops, but then I wondered if I might have enough to make a dress and a top. I don’t think I would have if I’d only had the 3 meters but I had some scrap fabric left over from when I made a previous top. So yippee!

I made it a little bit shorter than the green dotty dress as I just didn’t think it looked right being the same length. I wasn’t happy with it at all. So taking off a about 2cm made all the difference. I think it might have something to do with the colour, something about it being lighter made it look not as good as the green one.
Longer version.
Shorter, only a little bit.
I said there would be more of these dresses…
i am really going to have to try M&M, thought of a day trip to Rye next week. I love to feel fabric, have a tendancy to stroke it too!
I would seriously consider a trip to M&M, but be warned, they have many many lovely fabrics. I always buy more than I intend when I go there. And stroking fabric is a must!
