Blue and white

Monday, June 10, 2013

I was looking through an Anthropologie catalogue a few weeks ago and saw this dress.  Now I recognize that my dress doesn't look much like the dress from Anthro, but the idea spoke to me and I decided to make this dress.  I drew a little preliminary rendering, but then decided that the sleeves were ugly... Puffed sleeves are an ugly look on me.


 After a few modifications and some advice from Adam, this is what I ended up with!  It should be a great dress for summer!  It is a good length, it has sleeves, and it is thick enough not to have to wear a tank underneath it.  Love that!  

dress: made by me; necklace: gift; shoes: gift from Mom; belt: target (similar)
