New project :: Summer dress

I have been drooling over these dresses:



Bibi dress from Toast.



Confetti Whirl dress from Anthropologie.


Alas, they are over my budget in terms of a dress I can just throw on during those warm, dry summer days in Oregon. I'm going to try to make something similar between the two. I got some lovely silk last week. A bold and crazy pattern...



Pictures to come if it doesn't look to bad!
