I remember when the Sunki Dress was first released by Figgy’s and started popped up around blogland that I thought it was pretty cute so I decided to sew up another pattern from the Perfect Pattern Parcel #5 to try it out.
I bought a whole heap of this lightweight spotty denim from Spotlight awhile ago and thought that it would work well with this dress design.
The dress appears quite fussless at first glance but does have some lovely features like these great pockets created from side panels – although I did find them a bit confusing to insert, but fumbled my way there in the end.
And I really like the overlapped shoulder detail. The sleeves are pleated at the top to create a puffy look. I feel like the dress is a little too wide on Lil though, I don’t think I could go down a size as it fits quite well around the waist but I would definitley think about leaving out the puff on the shoulders or slimming down the neckline or sleeves a bit so that it doesn’t look so big across the top of her body.
The back of the dress is finished off with a zipper which makes dressing nice and easy.

How Pattern Parcel Works:
Here
at Perfect Pattern Parcel, we believe in supporting independent pattern
designers. It’s our opinion that indie patterns are just, well, better
than big box patterns, and we’re pretty sure our customers think so too.
So, we allow customers to show their support in naming their own price
for each Parcel. We also encourage customers to allocate part of their
Parcel price to the charity Donorschoose.org in order to help classrooms
in need. Pattern Parcel donates all profits after expenses from Parcel
sales to the charity as well. Together we’ve raised over $11,000 for
classrooms in need!
