Day 24 - White Lace Shift Dress - Worn to pick up Brandon after his flight and to lunch. It's official. I hate this dress. That morning, I saw a post on Kendi Everyday where she had paired a cute white dress with casual brown accessories and an olive jacket. Well, I wasn't about to throw on an olive jacket in the southern heat but, I thought the brown accents would be just the trick to town down the "fanciness" of this lace dress. It did, I suppose but, I also think it made it look like a county wedding dress... not my thing. Then, the leather seats in our car alerted me to just how short it is so, apparently said country-style wedding is happening in Vegas... really not my thing. I've decided I like the idea of this dress but, not this execution so, I'm ripping out the zipper and throwing the fabric in my stash for other uses. The next time I make a white dress, it will be out of a more casual fabric. Save for my wedding dress, of course ;)

Day 25 - Betty's Picnic Dress - Worn to a British Festival at a lovely local university and the mall for a bit of window shopping. Completely contrast to the day before, I love this one! I knew the fair would be sunny and hot so, I thought a cotton sundress would be perfect for the event. Save for uncovered, and therefore sunburned, shoulders (ouch!), it was. :)

You can choose to purchase complete infant bedding sets, which include the fitted sheet, quilt and other accessories to

Hi Jenny! Just letting you know that I nominated you for a Super Sweet Blogger award! http://creatinginthegap.blogspot.ca/
ReplyDeleteI think the white dress is really pretty, but I agree, white lace is hard to find the right occasion for. If you haven't taken it apart already, could you dye it black? The style and length would make a perfect little black dress...... Such a shame to take apart all that hard work! :)
ReplyDeleteI just found this review of this pattern - I know it's two years later, how late am I? haha, and I just adore your dress! I was debating making this pattern, but I'm going to go for it. Shirtdresses are so classic they never go out of syle, do they? Love your blue version ~ looks great on you!
ReplyDeleteThanks!! Haha, it's not uncommon for me to find reviews years later either. But, that's why they're published - so they're there when someone needs it :) I'd love to see your version of this dress! I agree - shirtdresses never go out of style.
