This was the first Vogue 1179 I made, but I have only managed to get the photos organised. We went away for a week-end to attend a family engagement party. It was a great little dress to pack and take for this kind of occasion.
I look very white in these photos which were taken in our motel room. My hair had the copper foils added the week before so I wonder if the strong colours of my hair and dress wash me out a little.
In this dress the fabric is lighter than the patterned one, and the fact I probably need a swayback alteration is more apparent. Always interesting how different fabrics can sit so differently.
The patterned version is a big favorite of mine and has been worn to the office every week since I made it. This teal one is reserved as my "going out" version. Does anyone else categorise their clothes that way?
Ciao.. activewear coming up next.
I really love this dress Sue. I think that the colour is great - as is your hair! And yes, I categorise my clothes the same way.
ReplyDeleteI think it's more the white walls reflecting back that is making you look pale. Love the dress, and the colour is gorgeous on you - as are your copper foils. :-)
ReplyDeleteSo pretty! I have this pattern, and I keep thinking I'll try it. Meanwhile I love yours. And I organize my clothes 'mentally' but I have a hangup on wearing things anyway - I have trouble wearing new things that I love, I'm so afraid I'll wear them out too soon. Crazy. I can always make another!
ReplyDeleteThis is a nice dress and hair color for you, Sue. I do have clothes that I wear for certain types of occasions.
ReplyDeleteI love this dress Sue, as well as your other one. I couldn't find the pattern anywhere so I had to make up my own. I will be blogging my version as soon as I can get some photos. All inspiration is credited to you.
ReplyDeleteLove your dress and the colour. I save certain things for best as well, which is silly really as they hardly ever get worn.
