Notes	This red linen fabric had been stashed away for more than 20 years, it had a mark on it that had prevented it being used for the original purpose - and I had forgotten about it. When I saw Victoria's version of this dress in the weekly contest I was inspired to make it too. The bias layout of the pieces allowed me to cut out avoiding the mark on the fabric - Yay!!! Apart from the usual tricky handling issues when working with bias fabric, this is easy to construct and quick to make. Great for the summer heat, I am very pleased with this dress.
