The Bonnell Dress

I love to support Indie designers! Their passion for the craft leads to innovative style, and the Bonnell dress is no exception. I feel blessed to be able to test this pattern and make a beautiful dress to carry me into summer.                  
         .
I made this dress with a brightly patterned challis with a crisp hand. The pattern has inset pockets in the skirt and trendy triangle shaped cutouts at the waist.
This pattern is well drafted and looks flattering on many body types, including my old lady body! The pattern is available at
