While Peter is working on his pea coat (a garment we hardly recognize around here), and doing a beautiful job I might add ... it was a balmy 82 degrees here today and, so, totally appropriate for nearly sleeveless and bare legs. Sorry all you northerners freezing up there.
Um, not really. ;-)
Unfortunately for the blog, I forgot I had a blurriness problem last time and thus forgot to check my camera this time so we have blurriness here again. Ugh. But I think you can still get the general idea, even if not in a crystal clear rendition.
It's a comfortable dress but not my most flattering since my waist gets lost in the blouse-i-ness of the bodice and no-contrast waist sash.
I still love the print and colors so I'll continue to wear it, missing waist be damned. ;-) Besides, who needs a waist anyway this time of year with all the goodies floating around the office kitchen?
Plus, pockets! Gotta love those!
Yay pockets! I really like it- the print is awesome and it's very flattering and chic. :)
ReplyDeleteNeed pockets on everything! It looks good on you too :)
ReplyDeleteIt was criminal to leave mid 80s Tampa and step into mid 30s Baltimore. Criminal!!
ReplyDeleteAnd, yay for pockets!
82F in December in North America? That just doesn't sound right. =)
ReplyDeleteI like your dress, btw. I never noticed S2187; have to check it out.
Waists highly overrated.
ReplyDeleteKathy B.
super cute.. Love the fabric, and I think it looks great on you..
ReplyDeleteps , I am jealous of your weather.. It is in thirty's here today.yuck..lol
So, we are just dragging ourselves out of a a deep freeze up here in Alberta (-30c. Brrrr!) so it is hard to imagine showing bare skin right now . . . just saying!! But, if you are in a position to so - why not wear a great dress!? You certainly look very summery - and pockets are always a bonus! Lovely dress :)
ReplyDeleteGreat dress and print Debbie. Reporting from middle Georgia: it was 29 degrees here this morning - yikes!
ReplyDeleteNice dress for your wonderful weather.
ReplyDeleteWaists come and go all the time:)
ReplyDeleteGo the pockets!
82 degrees? Wow, I see why folks escape to Florida in the summer, though I would miss my coats! That is a cute dress!
ReplyDeleteWhen I moved to North Queensland, Australia, from Canada , Canadians said I would miss the seasons . Wrong! Mango season just started, way better than
ReplyDeletewinter IMO
I love this dress on you. When you first showed it a couple of weeks ago, I was determined to find it in my stash. But HB was having a 99 cent sale. Only this pattern has been discontinued. Back to the stash. Well I found it. And even though it's a balmy 27 degrees today in B'More, I plan on wearing mine over a jumper with a grey cardigan layered on top and my grey boots. At least that's the vision I have in mind.
ReplyDeleteYeah, winter highly overrate, IMHO. Love the southern winters!
ReplyDeleteLove the dress, very flatttering. I hold out for pockets as well, they are quite necessary in the office.
Meanwhile it's not supposed to get above freezing here today. Rub it in, why don't you!
ReplyDeleteThis is really cute on you--I think it does have *some* shape and the colors are so great for you.
A great dress ... but I'll leave all the pockets with you ;)
ReplyDeleteAloha from Josie,
ReplyDeleteGreat dress, the print add interest. Pockets or no pockets, you can always change it later. That is the beauty of making your own clothes.
Thanks for sharing
Mahalo
It is snowing right now!! brrrr!!
ReplyDeleteI loves me some pockets too!
Cute dress, Debbie. Those are your colors! I'm freezing on the Florida east coast. The high is only 70F.
