Conclusion: Very easy dress to wear and really cute!
I wore it to work today with my leopard boots!

i love each and everything that you have made. You are so talented! do you have a business or do you just make clothes for you.
ReplyDeleteGreat dress in a great color. I agree...the scoop neckline is very lovely and I love the sleeves. I like how slim they look with the pooling at the bottom.
ReplyDeleteLove, love, love. Might copy. I need a bit more length, though. Girl, you're doing some amazing things. Love it.
ReplyDeleteAmazing color and fit. I pulled that very same pattern out a couple of weeks ago. I was planning on making one of the other views with the oversized cowl as a tunic. I just might give it a try after seeing yours.
