Last summer dress

I had a cute floral print and went looking through my patterns. This is a good jumping off point.This is the result.

A print fabric makes the dress look completely different, also, I changed the skirt into a Dirndl style. All that lovely detail on the bodice disappears, but it does fit nicely.Very cute from the back as well.What better prop than a late summer rose. My roses do their best in the fall.Fun styling, I’ve had this hat for years. It doesn’t keep the sun off my face but it is a very nice accessory.The beaded bag is vintage, we have wonderful stores along Magnolia Blvd. in Burbank. Often the clothes don’t fit, but the accessories – they always do.And now, even though it is still very very hot, time to think of cool weather sewing.
