    my favourite part of this outfit is the contrast of the soft blue and your fiery hair!

    beautiful dress, great fabric print, I love the buttons on the front. You’re so creative and fearless! Taking dresses apart and remaking them…

      thank you for your lovely words, keren.. i don’t think i’m that fearless – it made my job easier actually, ’cause skirt was hemmed and done already

    I like it with the plain blue belt in the waist and the bodice is nice.
