pink





I reserve the right to change my mind and wear pink.
Fabric: bought from Amitie (anna maria horner - cotton voile)
Bias tape casing and tie: my shop
Dress patten: 'dress n' The Stylish Dress Book (very modified version)
Shoes*: A long awaited day off work and walking all over Sydney for 4 hours with my good pal, Monique, just to choose the first pair I saw at the very beginning.

I made this dress last night and almost finished it this morning. I had planned to make this into a full length dress and bought some pale green contrasting fabric (from Tessuti) for the last 30cm. But a few distractions last night, meant an unhemmed dress was worn today! I'll add the rest on soon.

*This is the very first pair of high heels I have bought for 11 years! I stopped wearing them when I had kids and have to say they will take some getting used to!

I love this dress pattern. The fabric is gorgeous (both of them) And the shoes, devine.

I was so sick of wearing black and grey over winter that, I too bought a pink shirt last week!

Lovely dress, and the shoes are great! If you recall any tips for walking in heels, do let me know; I bought some new ones too, and can barely wear them....
