I can't tell you how much fun it is to watch your Washi Dresses pop up in the Washi Dress photo pool. It's been just over a month since I released the pattern and WOW you have been doing so many fun things with this pattern. There's scoop-neck versions, classic versions, facings-on-the-outside versions (which is actually what I had in mind when I first designed this dress, so that's fun to see!), sleeves, and more. Enough talk, let's take a look some of the Washi loveliness you've been dreaming up...

I think this scoopneck version from Kristin of skirt as top has to be one of my favorites. Love the subtle print and belt, so perfect for fall!

I love how Rachel used elastic casings in the back of this fantastic dress (made with Field Study by Anna Maria Horner) instead of the elastic thread. A perfect solution if you are not a fan of shirring!

What is it about a Washi Dress with a belt that I love so much? This dress version made with the new Storybook Lane fabric by Ever Kelly is really lovely (blogged here):

And here's a Washi with a waistband added to lower the waist. Brilliant!
