I love your website, and therefore resently purchased your book and i love it! i'm learning so much. Your no-nonsense, to-the-point style realy appaels to me. Can't wait for your next book, but thankfully there is still a lot of time to make the dresses, skirts and blouses from your first book (and a bunch of clothes for my children). This wrap dress pattern is an 'i want it' pattern as well, but there aren't enough hours in a day.

Can you direct us to this post again? Especially because dresses are often unlined and one can't seem to find decent undergarments. Am I recalling a pattern you designed for a full slip?
