one shoulder sunflower dress: simplicity 9777

Hey friends. Today on the blog, I’m sharing my make for Simplicity #letssewpinkchallenge. On Instagram, Simplicity announced that they were hosting a #letssewpink challenge for July which worked great for the popular Barbie movie. I haven't seen the movie yet, but I did love seeing and sewing pink garments this month. I have more pink fabric to cut into before summer is over, but I finished this Simplicity dress right on time. It was a few rules for the challenge, one included using one of the patterns they selected. I thought this was cool because this gave the people who entered a chance to be creative and really hack patterns up or sew the garments like the pattern. Before I get too far into the challenge, let’s get into the details of this dress.
