Bring in ideas and entertain them royally,
for one of them may be the king.

I've had this beautiful, pink, cotton pinstripe in my stash for a couple of years - just waiting for the right pattern to come along:
Then, yesterday, I get my Burda Style magazine in the mail and find - not one - but THREE patterns that are all clamoring to be made up in a beautiful, pink, cotton pinstripe!
One contender is this shirt dress. The only thing I worry about is the vertical darts on either side of the center front - I'm not sure how well they'll work with the pinstripes...
Another possibility in the dress category is this wrap-around summer sun dress. The fabric is the perfect weight and I think I could keep the pinstripes lined up - although I do like the design shown here of a solid bodice and flowers in the skirt.
Finally there is a blouse with a mandarin collar. Unlike the model in this image, I don't really think it's a "prissy" shirt and would wear it buttoned up. ;)
Why do ideas keep coming to the party alone, instead of bringing some free time with them? ;)
