Another Washi Dress with a big bow

Please note: The pattern previously known as “Washi” has been renamed “Trillium.” Read about the name change here. The Expansion Pack has been retired; please visit the Trillium Page for inspiration and links to tutorials.

I think the title pretty much sums it up. This is a Washi Dress that I made last winter, but I just added sleeves to it last week (it had a ruffle around the armhole that was really not working, just trust me on this one). I like the deeper colors of this striped voile for fall, and adding a sleeve makes it even more fall-esque. Perfect for leggings and boots with a big gray cable knit sweater (note to self: purchase gray cable knit sweater). This voile is part of Anna Maria Horner's Innocent Crush fabric line.

This bow is in fact even wider than the bow that will come with the soon-to-be-released Washi Expansion Pack (no longer available); the voile was so lightweight that I thought I'd push the limit a bit and see how wide I could get away with. The result is very fun, if you like a big bow. Do you think this is TOO big for a big bow? I don't think we have quite reached that point yet, but then again I'm always one for a big statement.

I'll be heading out to Texas at the end of this week for Quilt Market and a visit to my sister Elli of course, so now it's time to decide which of my Washi Dresses to pack. Or figure what else I should try and make last-minute before I go! Should be fun.
