I love this dress and your styling! I wish the light was a little better in the photo though so we could see the true color of the fabric. :)

This is a beautiful dress Honey – you have done a fantastic job, that bow is understated elegance and the alterations you made to the pattern really give it an edge. Lovely colour, lovely everything!

I am loving it! I thought I would start with some simple dresses – so I bought:-
http://cgi.ebay.com.au/One-Day-Sewing-Dresses-and-Tunics-Japanese-Craft-Book-/360272749221?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item53e1ede2a5
I’ve cut one of the dresses out – when I’ve finished I’ll upload some photos. I am really impressed with how easy the diagrams are to follow – even if I can’t read Japanese!! So I bought another (I know I am naughty!) more complicated looking book. Still waiting for that one to be delivered.

I love this dress! It is so cute without looking over the top – and I really like the way the bow is intergrated into the design. Very chic and very charming, all at once!
