Another peasant dress:
I'm having a bad hair day so I had to cut my head off~
This was the inspiration:

And it's a variation of this top that I made for my shop:
My closet is half full of peasant dresses and tops so it's not like I needed another one but I really do believe that the style is perfect for almost anyone. I love, love, love the fabric. It's hard to tell from the picture but there's a beautiful sheen to it and it's nice medium weight that lets it fall just right. It sounds silly but you sewers out there will understand when I say that I wait for the fabric to tell me what it's going to be. And this was just screaming peasant dress to me.
Wooden Beads Necklace:
I picked up these beads at the Salvation Army Thrift Store for a whopping 25 cents before Christmas. All I did was string them onto a pretty ribbon but I find beauty in the simplistic. I can get all artsy on you and talk about the juxtaposition of hard and soft, lightness and darkness, etc. But the truth is that I thought the beads were nice enough on their own and didn't need a whole lot of anything else. Plus I'm beginning to dream of far off hot places for vacation and this fits in with the island vibe that's going on in my head right now.

Your dress is just darling, aww, you shouldn't have cut your head off. Yes! I know what you mean about fabric speaking to you!
ReplyDeleteWow so much talent. Following!!! Love everything you made.
ReplyDeleteThat dress is absolutely gorgeous- much prettier than your inspiration image! Wish I knew how to whip myself up a dress! The beads are pretty too and complement the dress but could be worn with just about anything! I'm also fantasizing about a warm tropical vacation right now!
