one of my favorite things about the sally dress is the ability to add your own flair - trims, pleats, piping, etc. and today's guests show that statement off so well! 

our first guest today is caila of the blog cailamade. now seriously, i adore grey. i usually have to stop myself from making everything in grey but then the other side of me (i'm a gemini) screams add a print, some color - anything! lol! so when i saw caila's version of the sally it made my heart swell! grey! prints! girly trim! polkadots! seriously awesome. and don't even get me started on those hot pink boots! i.die. just go over to cailamade. she's a sweetheart with mad skills. you'll love it over there. promise. plus you can enter to win a copy of the sally dress pattern!

ok, honestly, how awesome is this pleating detail? our next guest, andrea of the blog the train to crazy, has a fun story about that pleating detail that you will want to hear! don't you love this fabric? i really like the interest it creates with the pleating detail. the lines of the plaid just make that pleating pop but blend at the same time. and the bias cut pockets? yay! it's awesome and so is andrea! she's the maven behind the train to crazy as well as go to patterns (pattern line) and go to patterns (the fabulously curated online pattern shop)! she's so talented and a lovely friend whose blog is filled with sewing goodies you will not want to miss! and don't miss her newsletters - they are awesome!
