Oh well.
How about a nice slice of happy clothing with your winter instead ? :-)
(Damn that hair and makeup department always on strike when you need em !)
When I was sewing this dress up (Emery bodice, pleated skirt FYI) I was thinking 'oh myyyyyy this is HIDEOUS). But actually, I think its my favorite dress - and I wear it often. Its the kind of dress that makes you feel happy when looking at it - and SUPER happy when wearing it.
I really have got the bodice to fit just as I like now, so I can see many more of these dresses in the future. I love dresses, so easy to throw on and look like you made an effort.
Winter never frightens me either as I just wear thicker cardigans, slips and woolly tights !
Please forgive these photos - the quality of them is as bad as the backdrop ! But this was the lightest part of my home at 11.30 this morning and beggers cant be choosers - right ? :-)
Love it! Great fabric, and looks like a great fit as well. :-)
ReplyDeleteI'm with you when it comes to winter - just add tights, boots, long sleeved tops layered under dresses, and warmer cardigans, and all is good! :-D
Hi macskakat :-) Thanks for your kind words. I must admit I am pretty dang happy with the fit now, and so its easy to churn out these dresses like nobody's business. I am going to try something new soon, and will probably use the Emery bodice a bit like a sloper to see where I need to change the pattern to fit me.
ReplyDeleteYay for dresses in winter !! I hate trousers - but luckily I know I feel warmer when I have a dress and all the accouterments on than I do when I am wearing trousers. Winter love :-) x
