Hot .... Pockets!

A dress that won't make you die of sweat in the summer? Yes please! This is another offering from the organic cotton company Pact. This dress is cool and comfortable, especially in the heat of summer, slightly fitted, has a cute cap sleeve and I'm a big fan of a V-neck. If maxis are your jam, it's perfect. It's not really mine, so my brilliant spouse suggested chopping off the bottom and using that to make pockets. Eureka!

I altered this dress to make it perfect (for me), chopping off about 10" of the bottom to make it a midi, hemmed it, and using that fabric to add pockets. I'm pretty pleased with the effect. The process of putting pockets in pants has been discussed in a previous post, but you can check out how to put pockets in dresses and skirts from one of my favorite sewing youtubers HERE. 

*****I also what to note that Pact DOES NOT carry sizes outside of the XS-XL range, which is a huge bummer. Most of what Pact sells are in the t-shirt and yoga pants vibe, so really it shouldn't be that hard???? I have bought a lot of casual garments in the past year for work in Coronatide, but I think for some more "office appropriate" pieces I will likely explore elsewhere.
