I'm so proud of it! I also worked out that when I next make it (for myself) I'll take up the hem, alter the shoulders (shorten the space between shoulder & bust) and finish the sleeves of a little shorter. I'm *pretty* sure I'm skilled enough to do that little itty bitty bit of tailoring. There's some great material, denim like with a bit of a stretch, that I got from my mother-in-law, it's on the washing line back in this post, but you can't really see it that well! Blue and Green Massive Flowers!
Ok, better rush off! Getting my darling bob trimmed and new blonder whiter look! Oh, and as I'm not happy with a few outfits I started for Outfit Number 49, this gorgeous darling dress is now OUTFIT NUMBER 49
Tis lovely...i like it in that print...hope all goes well at the hairdressers...mine's currently in a bob and colored white blond...

ReplyDeleteWow! Fabulous dress! I love the way you matched up the print from the fabric to give character to the dress! Great job.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE this dress! I adore the shoes as well. Are they orange? I am in love with orange shoes at the moment.
ReplyDeleteThank you for ALL your comments! I feel fabulous!
ReplyDeleteThe shoes are rusty red, but probably come up a little orange in the light of our kitchen! Now I think I've got an orange shoe crush too!
