Fall Girl
Made a dress! I'd been saving this fabric for who knows what and the other day it decided to become an early-fall dress from this Vogue pattern. I've been on a lucky streak with Vogue patterns! I have at least one Vogue shirt planned for fall, so I hope it keeps up.
Wow. After Ashley's lovely photos, my little quickies are disappointing. The dress, however, is cute and comfy! I left off the bottom half of the sleeves because I knew that I would be much more likely to wear a simpler sleeve than a floppy one. Additionally, I shortened the pattern quite a bit and it calls for a zipper, but it is so loose that one is not required. My little hook at the top keeps coming undone, though. I might have to replace it with ribbon.
I've been digging the leather-belt-with-dress trend and this works well with it. It is a touch nightgownish without a belt, but definitely still workable. I hope to make these shoes my go-to fall shoes. They are still a bit tight, but I've been wearing them a little every day to stretch them out without killing my fat feets.
More wedding and honeymoon details soon, I promise!
