Description

Simple (but heavy) summer sundress that can be worn in spring with a shirt underneath!

Don’t hold it against me that the elephants are facing every which way…

Material Notes

Heavy canvas (upholstery) with elephants from hartsfabric.com! They rock! Sparkley off-white linen for the pockets, and herringbone covered buttons that I stole from one of my under-used Zara coats.

    This dress works so well on you! And I’m an “all elephants’ must go in the same direction snob”, but I think you’ve cured me, I love how these elephants rampage where they want! Wear it with glee:)

    So adorable! I especially like the wide straps and the buttons. The elephants look perfect. I love the pattern! Most of my patterns are from other decades, so much fun.

    this dress is ridiculous! ridiculously cute!!! i love it! great job. and don’t worry about the elephants going in different directions. you try to wrangle that many elephants and see how many go the same direction!
