Hum, when you see this pic you may think: "Dots are SO funny, yeah right. And it's not even a dress, it's a skirt".
But look again:
Hey it is a fun dress! I know it's very similar to the panel dress from the August issue of Burda but I actually used my own basic bodice -the sleeveless version- and altered it after seeing a girl wear a mesh and black velvet top with this panel detail when I was on holiday. So I used navy bedsheet for the centre/upper part at the front and the upper back part and the dots fabric is super soft and thin stretch satined cotton from a local shop. The navy jacket is stretch cotton bought on sale, I sligthly altered a Burda Easy sewing design and the facings are navy and cream yukata cotton. Even though I wear a lot of my basic kimono style tops and tunics I love indulging in a little retro/glamour outfit sometimes and I really enjoyed spending the day in this one!

RépondreSupprimerThat IS a fun dress -- I love it! The jacket pairs up nicely with it too.
RépondreSupprimerWow! Certainly my eyes deceived me, I saw the first picture and thought it was the most beautiful skirts I've seen, when I read the post I changed my mind and thought this was the most beautiful dress I've ever seen! Love your creativity to choose the combination of print with with opaque fabric, so clever!
RépondreSupprimerI love your spotty dress. Great fun and very smart.
RépondreSupprimerNormally I'm not a fan of dots/spots but I really like this outfit. Love the panel detail, it really makes it. Great jacket too!
