Certain garments get lost in the back of the closet for a
couple of years, even though I really love them. This is one of the main reasons I do not
subscribe to the notion of tossing clothing that has not been worn in a year or
two. Well, that, and the majority of my
closet looks like it is over fifty years out of date – if you are never “in
style” there is really not much reason to unload things that you love,
even if they are neglected for a while.
This particular dress was made in 2007 (note to self: I should
really start marking dates directly on my pattern envelopes again). Not only is it easy and comfortable to wear, it is fun to see how far my sewing has come in the past seven years.
And another thing . . . I am easily distracted by the pretty
vintage reproductions and designer Vogue offerings, but the Vogue Easy Options line has
some hidden gems.
I may just have to make myself another wrap dress . . . yikes,
that mental project list is getting out of hand!

You are absolutely right and I share your opinion: "f you are never “in style” there is really not much reason to unload things that you love, even if they are neglected for a while"
ReplyDeleteIt is a statement for elegant and timeless dresses. I admire your dresses and your way of sewing. And I like your style. You are interpreting the style of the 40s and 50s and your are developing and cultivating tis style.
Thank you for your wonderful posts.
Great timeless dress.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely dress, Laura Mae! I do love your timeless, feminine style :)
ReplyDeleteI have always dressed for my own style, and so end up wearing things for years.

Your wardrobe is spot on perfect and will never be dated. I don't give away pieces that I haven't worn for a few years either. I may go 2 or 3 years that I don't even touch something and then all of a sudden, I can't wear it enough.
ReplyDeleteI love the color of this dress and those shoes....be still my heart :)
What a beautiful colour! And tell my about that mental project list - if only things could be made in the same speed as my thoughts... :)
ReplyDeleteThat's a really sweet dress!
