An Echino dress

Is there anything prettier in this world than Echino fabric? Probably not. That’s what I realized when I saw this dress. And so, I went looking for this out-of-print fabric online, found it, and made a simple A-line dress for Norah. And a cell phone pouch. And a banner for my blog.
