Do we feel the weather is sufficiently mild for me to show my latest make? I don't want to render anyone an unwelcome return of the chills but the temperature is being good to us this week and I'm hoping that's an end to the cold.
Yep, it is indeed a second linen dress .. and more neckline experimentals too. It has the same three quarter sleeves and easy a-line shape of this dress but a wide yoke which I'm really rather liking. The fabric, which isn't so easy to pick out from afar, has the tiniest of variegated blue checks on a pale blue background, really fresh and Spring/Summer-like .. ok, so probably not what you would want to put on today after all, but close your eyes and imagine those lighter, brighter days, the warmth on your skin, coat firmly back in the wardrobe. But you know, never more so than with this post have I kicked myself for forgetting yet again to iron a dress before modelling it. Drat!
Anyway, our Half Term is happening this week so I'll be taking the time off to entertain the kiddos. In the meantime, thank you all for your comments on my 1950s cushions, you're all most kind. Also for the encouragement about my impending news and I've got to say I love, love, love Karen's idea of having a cyber opening evening over a glass of vino. Can you imagine that? What a hoot that would be!
Have a great week, everyone.
You might get to wear that dress @ the end of the week - supposed to be quite spring like on Thursday :)
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your half term - ours seems such a distant memory already!!
Beautiful Kate, the neckline and yoke are lovely. It may get an airing at the end this week as I think summer arrives then. ;)
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your half-term!

Good luck with half term - I'm a little 'phew' now mine have gone back, but I am missing the company. Saying that lots done today already so 'yay!' no more smelly socks left on the stairs - they're all washed and airing on the line right now........heat wave!
take care and enjoy the week.

Perfect dress! I love everything about it, the fabric, the shape, the yoke, even the creases.

That yoke is lovely. It has a very zen Japanese feel to it and makes me long for the start of spring that everyone is promising. Looking forward to opening night!
ReplyDeleteYes, I could do with a dress like that this Spring. I can feel a bounce in my step just thinking about it. Seriously. How is your shop faring? I've been thinking about you.
