This Thing I Have I for Purple

I have a thing for purple, as evidenced by fabrics I chose for the Rachel Comey shirt, the Cynthia Rowley dress, and this current Vena Cava dress I made myself.

The pattern was very simple, with an invisible zipper that, to be honest, never needs to be used, french seams, and two pleats.

Were I to offer any useful suggestion to would-be sewers of V1228, it would be to choose your fabric carefully, because as much as I dig this print, the fabric itself has a serious static problem and I almost have to walk around with a spray can of static guard to have any hope of winning the battle against a dress that rides up.
