Wearing Striped Dress


I had a moment to take a few photos of me wearing the dress I just completed.  This is such a simple dress but the fabric is what makes it noticeable. I made the sash with the stripes running vertically to break up the horizontal stripes. 

The great colors in this dress will allow me the opportunity to wear various shoes-cream, blue and black.

  2. The dress is stunning. You're so right that the fabric makes the simple silhouette sing. However, I think the dress would be even more awesome if you used a black skinny belt.

    1. Thanks Carolyn! I like the idea of a skinny black belt, all of my belts now are so wide that they overwhelmed the dress.

  3. Love the colour combination in the fabric - endless possibilities with shoes, bags, belts, earrings....

  4. A really nice dress, but I had the same thought as Carolyn - a thinner black belt would really be great.
